Abstract: In both the Gardner equation and its extensions, the non-convex convection bounds the range of solitons / compactons velocities beyond which they dissolve and kink/anti-kink form. Close to solitons barrier we unfold a narrow strip of velocities where solitons shape undergoes a structural change and rather than grow with velocity, their top flattens and they widen rapidly; $epsilo{n}^2<<1$ change in velocity causes their width to expand ln $(1/epsilon)$. To a very good approximation these solitary waves, referred to as flatons, may be viewed as made of a kink and anti-kink placed at an arbitrary distance from each other. Like ordinary solitons, once flatons form they are very robust. A multi-dimensional extension of the Gardner equation reveals that spherical flatons are as prevalent and in many cases every admissible velocity supports an entire sequence of multi-nodal flatons.
