Evolution of a dark soliton in a one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate trapped by a harmonic potential is studied analytically and numerically. In the case of a deep soliton, main characteristics of its motion such as frequency and amplitude of oscillations are calculated by means of the perturbation theory which in the leading order results in a Newtonian dynamics, corrections to which are computed as well.
