A method to solve nonlinear dissipative wave equations using ideas of Luke, Krylov, and Bogolyubov is presented. The method is compared to Whitham's theory. Dispersion relations for nonlinear dissipative waves, including amplitude dispersion, are discussed. Furthermore, stability problems of such waves are investigated.
