39. It is interesting to notice that a quick but fallacious back of the envelope argument applied to Eq. (4.1) in the limit x→±∞, where ∇u0 vanishes, yields the complex dispersion law ω=-iνk2-λu0k. The correct result ω=-iν(k2+ks2), following from Eq. (4.3) is, of course, due to the influence of the term ∇u0∝cosh-2[ks(x-x0)] at long distances.
