Abstract

We describe an approach that allows us to construct multi-soliton asymptotic solutions for essentially nonintegrable equations and analyze the type of wave collision. The general idea is demonstrated by the example of a generalization of Korteweg-de Vries equation with small dispersion in the cases of two and three waves. We also discuss the phenomenon of nonuniqueness that occurs in the framework of the weak description of a multi-soliton interaction.
