The multi-frequency solution for periodic nonlinear and dissipative waves

• The solution for multi-frequency plane waves propagating through a dissipative and nonlinear medium is shown for some examples of periodic conditions. The expression may for any given condition be expressed analytically as a ratio of Fourier series with Bessel function coefficients. In the examples are shown how the final appearance of any initial wave always is a pure periodic wave in the lowest frequency existing in the problem - the period of the condition.
