Approximate asymptotic integration of a higher order water-wave equation using the inverse scattering transform

The complete mathematical and physical characterization of nonlinear water wave dynamics has been an important goal since the fundamental partial differential equations were discovered by Euler over 200 years ago. Here I study a subset of the full solutions by consid...
