Perturbation theory for dark solitons governed by the nonlinear Schrod
inger equation is developed. Orthogonality and closure of the basis of
the basis of squared Jost functions are proved. The general form of a
correction to the one-soliton solution up to first order is obtained.
Two examples related to perturbed dynamics of dark optical solitons a
re considered within the framework of the adiabatic approximation.
