Abstrakt: Summary The validity of an approximation a0 of one of the solutions a of a set of two linear coupled dispersive wave equations has been discussed. a0 is the solution of a linear Korteweg-de Vries equation and satisfies the same initial condition as a. It is shown that for square integrable solutions having a spectral range not exceeding [-?, ?] the approximation is useful if ?5µ2t«1 in the sense that ?a-a0?(t)« ?a?(t)(L2-norm).µ is a measure for the dispersion. The approximation fails in that sense ast? 8. Some remarks to a similar nonlinear problem are made.
