We study the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with a slowly varying smooth potential,
. We show that up to time
and errors of size
in
, the solution is a soliton, evolving according to the classical dynamics of a natural effective Hamiltonian,
. This provides an improvement (
) compared to previous works, and is strikingly confirmed by numerical simulations.
