  4. Limiting envelope solitons appearance and propagation of “limiting” envelope solitons (“breathers”) steepness profile [Dyachenko & Zakharov, 2008]

  5. ? How do the approximate (high-order) envelope eqs and fully nonlinear description of steep envelope solitary waves relate?

  6.

  34. Conclusions Existence of “limiting” envelope solitons has been shown [Dyachenko & Zakharov, 2008] High-order envelope models describe the “limiting” envelope solitons (up to ka~ 0.2...0.3) quite well Occasional wave steepening seems to be the only reason why the “limiting” envelope solitons are difficult to reproduce Toward-propagating envelope solitons collide in a great extent elastically When co-moving solitons interact, a higher and longer-wavelength soliton destroys the smaller and shorter-wavelength one Long-time interacting solitons (with similar wavenumbers) can couple
