Interaction of a soliton with a mass impurity in the exponential lattice has been studied by means of a computer simulation. We particularly investigate the decrease of the soliton amplitude due to an impurity. The present computation shows that the decrease of amplitude is proportional to ( A IN D ) 2 in the region of (A_{ ext{IN}}|D| lesssim 1), where A IN denotes the incident soliton amplitude and the mass defect D is defined by 1- Q , if Q denotes the mass ratio of the impurity to the host particle. The relation holds whether the impurity is lighter ( Q 1) than the host particle. The result agrees qualitatively with the perturbation theory based on the inverse method. In the case of a light impurity, there remains a localized mode near the impurity site, after a soliton has passed through the impurity. The frequency of the localized mode decreases as the amplitude of the mode increases, in a qualitative agreement with a simple mode-coupling theory.
