In the present work, we develop an adiabatic invariant approach for the evolution of quasi-one-dimensional (stripe) solitons embedded in a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate. The results of the theory are obtained both for the one-component case of dark soliton stripes, as well as for the considerably more involved case of the two-component dark-bright (alias filled dark) soliton stripes. In both cases, analytical predictions regarding the stability and dynamics of these structures are obtained. One of our main findings is the determination of the instability modes of the waves as a function of the parameters of the system (such as the trap strength and the chemical potential). Our analytical predictions are favorably compared with results of direct numerical simulations.
