Abstract

A general method is formulated for the derivation of the modulation Whitham equations of periodic solutions to integrable equations described by the AKNS scheme. The method provides the Whitham equations in a form convenient for applications. It is illustrated by the derivation of a new form of the Whitham equations corresponding to the modulation of one-and two-phase periodic solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
