  1. The semi-classical Korteweg–de Vries equation for step-like data is considered with a small parameter in front of the highest derivative. Using perturbation analysis, Whitham theory is constructed to the higher order. This allows the order one phase and the complete leading-order solution to be obtained; the results are confirmed by extensive numerical calculations.
