N2 - We study the viability of an analytic procedure for deriving a partial differential equation approximating the dynamics of a lattice, with an arbitrary interparticle potential, in close to continuum conditions. The comparison is made through a computer study of the Toda lattice. Although the exact integrability is not preserved by the approximation, the shape of the colliding solitons is extremely well preserved after many collisions.
