The orbital stability of the cnoidal waves of the Korteweg–de Vries equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cnoidal wave solution of the integrable Korteweg de Vries equation is the most basic of its periodic solutions. Following earlier work where the linear stability of these solutions was established, we prove in this paper that cnoidal waves are (nonlinearly) orbitally stable with respect to so-called subharmonic perturbations: perturbations that are periodic with period any integer multiple of the cnoidal-wave period. Our method of proof combines the construction of an appropriate Lyapunov function with the seminal results of Grillakis, Shatah and Strauss [14, 15]. The integrability of the Korteweg-de Vries equation is used in that we need the presence of at least one extra conserved quantity in addition to those expected from the Lie point symmetries of the equation.

متن کاملStability of hydraulic fall and sub-critical cnoidal waves in water flows over a bump
A forced Korteweg–de Vries (fKdV) equation can be used to model the surface wave of a twodimensional water flow over a bump when the upstream Froude number is near one. The fKdV model typically has four types of solutions: sub-critical cnoidal waves, sub-critical hydraulic fall, transcritical upstream soliton radiation, and supercritical multiple solitary waves. This paper provides a numerical ...

Double cnoidal waves of the Korteweg-de Vries equation are studied by direct solution of the nonlinear boundary value problem. These double cnoidal waves, which are the spatially periodic generalization of the well-known double soliton, are exact solutions with two independent phase speeds. The equation is written in terms of two phase variables and expanded in two-dimensional Fourier series. T...
