Abstract

We study the large-time behaviour of solutions to the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation with bore-like initial data. This work relies on the methods of Amick, Bona and Schonbeck to obtain sharp rates of temporal decay of certain norms of the solution, thus obtaining an improvement over results of Naumkin and Shishmarev.
