Abstract
A variational approach is adopted to study the evolution of an ultrash ort laser pulse copropagating with an electron plasma wave. By use of the potential well description, the conditions for pulse compression, decompression or stationary state are found. The results are compared with the numerical calculations of the evolution equation.
