The paper deals with the singularly perturbed Korteweg-de Vries equation with variable coefficients. An algorithm for constructing asymptotic one-phase soliton-like solutions of this equation is described. The algorithm is based on the nonlinear WKB technique.
The constructed asymptotic soliton-like solutions contain a regular and singular part. The regular part of this solution is the background function and consists of terms, which are defined as solutions to the system of the first order partial differential equations. The singular part of the asymptotic solution characterizes the soliton properties of the asymptotic solution. These terms are defined as solutions to the system of the third order partial differential equations. Solutions of these equations are obtained in a special way. Firstly, solutions of these equations are considered on the so-called discontinuity curve, and then these solutions are prolongated into a neighborhood of this curve.
The influence of the form of the coefficients of the considered equation on the form of the equation for the discontinuity curve is analyzed. It is noted that for a wide class of such coefficients the equation for the discontinuity curve has solution that is determined for all values of the time variable. In these cases, the constructed asymptotic solutions are determined for all values of the independent variables. Thus, in the case of a zero background, the asymptotic solutions are certain deformations of classical soliton solutions.
Key words: the Korteweg-de Vries equation, singular perturbation, asymptotic solution.
