The Sagdeev potential method is employed to compute the width of (Ion-acoustic) soliton propagated in a cold plasma. The computation indicates that the soliton width is a continuous function (of the Mach number M), which is expressed in terms of the Lambert Function. Despite the (fairly) complex form of the function, the numerical plotting makes sense about its changes.
