Abstract
A new numerical solution to the Modified Korteweg-deVries minus equati on is obtained using a 'lumped' Galerkin method with quadratic B-splin e finite elements. The motion, interaction and generation of solitary waves are studied using the method. New results concerning the decay o f quasi-soliton initial conditions are given.
