Abstract

The long-time behavior of the solution for x >> t^1/3 of the Korteweg-de Vries equation is found when the initial data consists of a right or left-truncated soliton. The initial data in either case is found to evolve into a complete soliton of smaller amplitude. The amplitude, velocity, and phase shift of the resultant soliton is explicitly given, and the emergence of this soliton from the initial disturbance is described in both cases.
