Abstract
Dark solitons are common topological excitations in a wide array of nonlinear waves. The dark soliton excitation energy, crucial for exploring dark soliton dynamics, is necessarily calculated in a renormalized form due to its existence on a finite background. Despite its tremendous importance and success, the renormalized energy form was firstly only suggested with no detailed derivation, and was then "derived" in the grand canonical ensemble. In this work, we revisit this fundamental problem and provide an alternative and intuitive derivation of the energy form from the fundamental field energy by utilizing a limiting procedure that conserves number of particles. Our derivation yields the same result, putting therefore the dark soliton energy form on a solid basis.
