摘要
We investigate the propagation of nonlinear pulses in a magnetically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. The condensate may take an elongated shape just like a "cigar": because of high asymmetry of the harmonic trap. By applying the reductive perturbation method to model equations, we derive the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and show a formula for the dependence of the pulse speed on its amplitude.
