Asymptotic stability of solitary waves in the Benney-Luke model of water waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study asymptotic stability of solitary wave solutions in the one-dimensional Benney-Luke equation, a formally valid approximation for describing two-way water wave propagation. For this equation, as for the full water wave problem, the classic variational method for proving orbital stability of solitary waves fails dramatically due to the fact that the second variation of the energy-momentum functional is infinitely indefinite. We establish nonlinear stability in energy norm under the spectral stability hypothesis that the linearization admits no non-zero eigenvalues of non-negative real part. We then verify this hypothesis for waves of small energy. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 37K40, 35Q35, 35B35, 76B15. 1 2 STABILITY OF BENNEY-LUKE SOLITARY WAVES

Linear Stability of Solitary Waves for the one-dimensional Benney-Luke Equation
In the last two decades there has been considerable research on model water wave equations and the stability of their solitary waves. Among them, the Boussinesq type models such as [2], [3] and [4] describe small amplitude long waves in water of finite length. In this paper we will study the one-dimensional Benney-Luke equation. Our goal is twofold we aim to illustrate the usefulness of the abs...
متن کاملLinear Stability of Solitary Waves for the One-dimensional Benney-luke and Klein-gordon Equations
————————————————————————————————————– The linear stability of the solitary waves for the one-dimensional Benney-Luke equation in the case of strong surface tension is investigated rigorously and the critical wave speeds are computed explicitly. For the Klein-Gordon equation, the stability of the traveling standing waves is considered and the exact ranges of the wave speeds and the frequencies n...
متن کاملThe Generation and Evolution of Lump Solitary Waves in Surface-Tension-Dominated Flows
Three-dimensional solitary waves or lump solitons are known to be solutions to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili I equation, which models small-amplitude shallow-water waves when the Bond number is greater than 1 3 . Recently, Pego and Quintero presented a proof of the existence of such waves for the Benney–Luke equation with surface tension. Here we establish an explicit connection between the lump s...
متن کاملAnalytic and Numerical Nonlinear Stability/instability of Solitons for a Kawahara like Model
We study orbital stability of solitary waves of least energy for a nonlinear Kawahara type equation (Benney-Luke-Paumond) that models long water waves with small amplitude, from the analytic and numerical viewpoint. We use a second-order spectral scheme to approximate these solutions and illustrate their unstable behavior within a certain regime of wave velocity.
متن کاملExistence and Non Existence of Solitons for a 1d Benney-luke Model of Higher Order
We shall establish the existence and non existence of solitons (travelling waves of finite energy) for a Benney-Luke equation of higher order, which includes models for long water waves with small amplitude. Following a variational approach, solitons are characterized as critical points of the action functional. Existence of solitons follows by the ConcentrationCompactness principle by P.-L. Li...
