We study the long time evolution of the solution to the Korteweg- de Vries equation with initial data u(x) which satisfy lim y(.x) = -1, lim U(x) = 0. (Formula presented) We show that as t →∞the step emits a wavetrain of solitons which asymptotically have twice the amplitude of the initial step. We derive a lower bound of the number of solitons separated at time t for t large. © 1986 American Mathematical Society.
