Orbital stability in the cubic defocusing NLS equation: I. Cnoidal periodic waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Periodic waves of the one-dimensional cubic defocusing NLS equation are considered. Using tools from integrability theory, these waves have been shown in [4] to be linearly stable and the Floquet–Bloch spectrum of the linearized operator has been explicitly computed. We combine here the first four conserved quantities of the NLS equation to give a direct proof that cnoidal periodic waves are orbitally stable with respect to subharmonic perturbations, with period equal to an integer multiple of the period of the wave. Our result is not restricted to the periodic waves of small amplitudes. © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Stability of small periodic waves for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation
The nonlinear Schrödinger equation possesses three distinct six-parameter families of complexvalued quasi-periodic travelling waves, one in the defocusing case and two in the focusing case. All these solutions have the property that their modulus is a periodic function of x−ct for some c ∈ R. In this paper we investigate the stability of the small amplitude travelling waves, both in the defocus...
متن کاملThe orbital stability of the cnoidal waves of the Korteweg–de Vries equation
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 ...
متن کاملOrbital stability of periodic waves for the nonlinearSchrödinger equation
The nonlinear Schrödinger equation has several families of quasi-periodic travelling waves, each of which can be parametrized up to symmetries by two real numbers: the period of the modulus of the wave profile, and the variation of its phase over a period (Floquet exponent). In the defocusing case, we show that these travelling waves are orbitally stable within the class of solutions having the...
متن کاملStabilization of one-dimensional periodic waves by saturation of the nonlinear response.
We address the properties of (1+1)-dimensional periodic waves in conservative saturable cubic nonlinear media and discover that cnoidal- and snoidal-type waves are completely stable within a broad range of parameters. The existence of stability bands is in sharp contrast with the previously known properties of periodic waves in self-focusing Kerr nonlinear media. We also found that in self-defo...
متن کاملSpectral stability analysis for periodic traveling wave solutions of NLS and CGL perturbations
We consider cnoidal traveling wave solutions to the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) that have been shown to persist when the NLS is perturbed to the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation (CGL). We show that while these periodic traveling waves are spectrally stable solutions of NLS with respect to periodic perturbations, they are unstable with respect to bounded perturbations. Furtherm...
