Abstract

The infinite-genus limit of the KdV–Whitham equations is derived. The limit involves special scaling for the associated spectral surface such that the integrated density of states remains finite as N→∞ (the thermodynamic type limit). The limiting integro-differential system describes slow evolution of the density of states and can be regarded as the kinetic equation for soliton gas.
