Abstract: It has been known for some time that solitons of the externally driven, damped nonlinear Schr"odinger equation can only exist if the driver's strength, $h$, exceeds approximately $(2/pi)gamma$, where $gamma$ is the dissipation coefficient. Although this perturbative result was expected to be correct only to the leading order in $gamma$, recent studies have demonstrated that the formula $h_{thr}=(2/pi)gamma$ gives a remarkably accurate description of the soliton's existence threshold prompting suggestions that it is, in fact, exact. In this note we evaluate the next order in the expansion of $h_{thr}(gamma)$ showing that the actual reason for this phenomenon is simply that the next-order coefficient is anomalously small: $h_{thr}=(2/pi)gamma+0.002gamm{a}^3$. Our approach is based on a singular perturbation expansion of the soliton near the turning point; it allows to evaluate $h_{thr}(gamma)$ to all orders in $gamma$ and can be easily reformulated for other perturbed soliton equations.
