Abstract

A partial differential equation which describes nonlinear wave propagations in random media is presented. Based on the equation, behaviors of soliton propagations can be analysed exactly. Under the assumption of Gaussian white randomness, it is shown that the amplitude of a soliton decreases asymptotically as x −1/2, x being the distance of the propagation.
