Studied here is the generalized Benjamin-Ono--Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation $u_t+u^pu_x+α\mathscr{H}u_{xx}+\varepsilon u_{xyy}=0, \quad (x,y)\in\rr^2\!,\;\;t\in \rr^+\!$ in two space dimensions. Here, $\mathscr{H}$ is the Hilbert transform and subscripts denote partial differentiation. We classify when equation (1) possesses solitary-wave solutions in terms of the signs of the constants $α$ and $\varepsilon$ appearing in the dispersive terms and the strength of the nonlinearity. Regularity and decay properties of these solitary wave are determined and their stability is studied.
In this paper we consider a three-component system of one dimensional long wave-short wave interaction equations. The system has two-parameter family of solitary wave solutions. We prove orbital stability of the solitary wave solutions using variational methods.
We study the orbital instability of solitary waves for a generalized derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We give sufficient conditions for instability of a two-parameter family of solitary waves in a degenerate case.
For the Schrödinger equation with a cubic-quintic, focusing-defocusing nonlinearity in one space dimension, we prove the asymptotic stability of solitary waves for a large range of admissible frequencies. For this model, the linearized problem around the solitary waves does not have internal mode nor resonance.
In this paper we establish a rigorous spectral stability analysis for solitary waves associated to a generalized fractional Benjamin-Bona-Mahony type equation. Besides the well known smooth and positive solitary wave with large wave speed, we present the existence of smooth negative solitary waves having small wave speed. The spectral stability is then determined by analysing the behaviour of the associated linearized operator around the wave restricted to the orthogonal of the tangent space related to the momentum at the solitary wave. Since the analytical solution is not known, we generate t…
In this paper, we study the existence and concentration of solitary waves for a class of generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations with the potential in $\mathbb{R}^2$ via the variational methods.
In this work, we present a stability criteria for the solitary wave solutions to a BBM system that contains coupled nonlinear terms. Using the idea by Bona, Chen and Karakashian and exploiting the accurate point spectrum information of the associated Schrodinger operator, we improve the stability results previously got by Pereira.
This work studies the rotation-generalized Benjamin-Ono equation which is derived from the theory of weakly nonlinear long surface and internal waves in deep water under the presence of rotation. It is shown that the solitary-wave solutions are orbitally stable for certain wave speeds.
Considered herein is the integrable two-component Camassa-Holm shallow water system derived in the context of shallow water theory, which admits blow-up solutions and the solitary waves interacting like solitons. Using modulation theory, and combining the almost monotonicity of a local version of energy with the argument on the stability of a single solitary wave, we prove that the train of $N$ solitary waves, which are sufficiently decoupled, is orbitally stable in the energy space $H^1(\R)\times L^2(\R)$.
In this article, we will prove $L^2(\mathbb{R})$-stability of $1$-solitons for the KdV equation by using exponential stability property of the semigroup generated by the linearized operator. The proof follows the lines of recent stability argument of Mizumachi [Asymptotic stability of lattice solitons in the energy space, Comm. Math. Phys., (2009)] and Mizumachi, Pego and Quintero [Asymptotic stability of solitary waves in the Benney-Luke model of water waves, Differential Integral Equations, (2013)] which show stability in the energy class by using strong linear stability of solitary waves in…
We consider the initial-value problem for the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the presence of an attractive delta potential. We show that for sufficiently small initial data, the corresponding global solution decomposes into a small solitary wave plus a radiation term that decays and scatters as $t\to\infty$. In particular, we establish the asymptotic stability of the family of small solitary waves.
The long-time asymptotics is analyzed for finite energy solutions of the 1D discrete Schrödinger equation coupled to a nonlinear oscillator. The coupled system is invariant with respect to the phase rotation group. For initial states close to a solitary wave, the solution converges to a sum of another solitary wave and dispersive wave which is a solution to the free Schrödinger equation. The proofs use the strategy of Buslaev-Perelman: the linerization of the dynamics on the solitary manifold, the symplectic orthogonal projection, method of majorants, etc.
In this paper, we consider the stability for line solitary waves of the two dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation on $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{T}_L$ which is one of a high dimensional generalization of Korteweg-de Vries equation , where $\mathbb{T}_L$ is the torus with the period $2πL$. The orbital and asymptotic stability of the one soliton of Korteweg-de Vries equation on the energy space has been proved by Benjamin, Pego and Weinstein and Martel and Merle. We regard the one soliton of Korteweg-de Vries equation as a line solitary wave of Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation on $\mathbb{R}\times\mat…
In this paper we use variational methods to establish a Berestycki-Lions type result for a class of generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation in $\mathbb{R}^N$. The positive and zero mass cases are considered.
This paper proves existence and stability results of solitary-wave solutions to coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with power-type nonlinearities arising in several models of modern physics. The existence of solitary waves is obtained by solving a variational problem subject to two independent constraints and using the concentration-compactness method. The set of minimizers is shown to be stable and further information about the structures of this set are given. The paper extends the results previously obtained by Cipolatti and Zumpichiatti, Nguyen and Wang, and Ohta.
In this paper, we study several aspects of solitary wave solutions of the rotation Benjamin-Ono equation. By solving a minimization problem on the line, we construct a family of even travelling waves $ψ_{c,γ}$. We also study the strong convergence of this family and we establish the uniqueness of $ψ_{c,γ}$ for $γ$ small enough. Note that this improves the results in [5] where the stability of the set of ground states is proven.
This paper sheds new light on the stability properties of solitary wave solutions associated with models of Korteweg-de Vries and Benjamin\&Bona\&Mahoney type, when the dispersion is very lower. Via an approach of compactness, analyticity and asymptotic perturbation theory, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of exponentially growing solutions to the linearized problem and so a criterium of linear instability of solitary waves is obtained for both models. Moreover, the nonlinear stability and linear instability of the ground states solutions for both models is obtained for som…
In this paper we establish some results concerning the existence, regularity and concentration phenomenon of nontrivial solitary waves for a Generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (GKP) equation in $\mathbb{R}^2.$ Variational methods are used to get an existence result and to study the concentration phenomenon, while the regularity is more delicate because we are leading with functions in an anisotropic Sobolev space.
We study the perturbed sine-Gordon equation $θ_{tt}-θ_{xx}+\sin θ= F(\varepsilon,x)$, where $F$ is of differentiability class $C^n$ in $\varepsilon$ and the first $k$ derivatives vanish at $0$, i.e., $\partial_\varepsilon^l F(0,\cdot)=0$ for $0\le l\le k $. We construct implicitly a virtual solitary manifold by deformation of the classical solitary manifold in $n$ iteration steps. Our main result establishes that the initial value problem with an appropriate initial state $\varepsilon^n$-close to the virtual solitary manifold has a unique solution which follows up to time $1/(\tilde C\varepsil…
We consider the stability theory of solitary wave solutions for the generalized derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation $$ i\partial_{t}u+\partial_{x}^{2}u+i|u|^{2σ}\partial_x u=0, $$ where $1<σ<2$. The equation has a two-parameter family of solitary wave solutions of the form $$ u_{ω,c}(t,x)=e^{iωt+i\frac c2(x-ct)-\frac{i}{2σ+2}\int_{-\infty}^{x-ct}φ^{2σ}_{ω,c}(y)dy}φ_{ω,c}(x-ct). $$ The stability theory in the frequency region of $|c|<2\sqrtω$ was studied previously. In this paper, we prove the instability of the solitary wave solutions in the endpoint case $c=2\sqrtω$.
For the nonlinear Dirac equation in (1+1)D with scalar self-interaction (Gross--Neveu model), with quintic and higher order nonlinearities (and within certain range of the parameters), we prove that solitary wave solutions are asymptotically stable in the "even" subspace of perturbations (to ignore translations and eigenvalues $\pm 2ωi$). The asymptotic stability is proved for initial data in $H^1$. The approach is based on the spectral information about the linearization at solitary waves which we justify by numerical simulations. For the proof, we develop the spectral theory for the lineariz…
We consider the following generalized derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation \begin{equation*} i\partial_tu+\partial^2_xu+i|u|^{2σ}\partial_xu=0,\ (t,x)\in\mathbb R\times\mathbb R \end{equation*} when $σ\in(0,1)$. The equation has a two-parameter family of solitary waves $$u_{ω,c}(t,x)=Φ_{ω,c}(x)e^{iωt+\frac{ic}2x-\frac i{2σ+2}\int_0^xΦ_{ω,c}(y)^{2σ}dy},$$ with $(ω,c)$ satisfying $ω>c^2/4$, or $ω=c^2/4$ and $c>0$. The stability theory in the frequency region $ω>c^2/4$ was studied previously. In this paper, we prove the stability of the solitary wave solutions in the endpoint case $ω=c^2/4$ …
We prove existence and stability results for a two-parameter family of solitary-wave solutions to a system in which an equation of nonlinear Schrödinger type is coupled to an equation of Korteweg-de Vries type. Such systems model interactions between short and long dispersive waves. The results extend earlier results of Angulo, Albert and Angulo, and Chen. Our proof involves the characterization of solitary-wave solutions as minimizers of an energy functional subject to two constraints. To establish the precompactness of minimizing sequences via concentrated compactness, we establish the sub-a…
In this paper we investigate the orbital stability of solitary waves to the (generalized) Kawahara equation (gKW) which is a fifth order dispersive equation. For some values of the power of the nonlinearity, we prove the orbital stability in the energy space H 2 (R) of two branches of even solitary waves of gKW by combining the well-known spectral method introduced by Benjamin [3] with continuity arguments. We construct the first family of even solitons by applying the implicit function theorem in the neighborhood of the explicit solitons of gKW found by Dey et al. [8]. The second family consi…
We consider the quadratic Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation $$ \partial_t u + \partial_x Δu + \partial_x u^2 =0 $$ on $\mathbb{R}^3$. A solitary wave solution is given by $Q(x-t,y,z)$, where $Q$ is the ground state solution to $-Q + ΔQ + Q^2 =0$. We prove the asymptotic stability of these solitary wave solutions. Specifically, we show that initial data close to $Q$ in the energy space, evolves to a solution that, as $t\to\infty$, converges to a rescaling and shift of $Q(x-t,y,z)$ in $L^2$ in a rightward shifting region $x> δt -\tan θ\sqrt{y^2+z^2} $ for $0 \leq θ\leq \fracπ{3}-δ$.
In this paper, we continue the study in \cite{MiaoTX:DNLS:Stab}. We use the perturbation argument, modulational analysis and the energy argument in \cite{MartelMT:Stab:gKdV, MartelMT:Stab:NLS} to show the stability of the sum of two solitary waves with weak interactions for the generalized derivative Schrödinger equation (gDNLS) in the energy space. Here (gDNLS) hasn't the Galilean transformation invariance, the pseudo-conformal invariance and the gauge transformation invariance, and the case $σ>1$ we considered corresponds to the $L^2$-supercritical case.
We consider the KP-I and gKP-I equations in $\mathbb{R}\times (\mathbb{R}/2π\mathbb{Z})$. We prove that the KdV soliton with subcritical speed $0<c<c^*$ is orbitally stable under the global KP-I flow constructed by Ionescu and Kenig \cite{IK}. For supercritical speeds $c>c^*$, in the spirit of the work by Duyckaerts and Merle \cite{DM}, we sharpen our previous instability result and construct a global solution which is different from the solitary wave and its translates and which converges to the solitary wave as time goes to infinity. This last result also holds for the gKP-I equation.

We prove the existence of solitary wave solutions to the quasilinear Benney system $$iu_{t}+u_{xx}=a|u|^pu+uv,\quad v_t+f(v)_x=(|u|^2)_x$$ where $f(v)=-γv^3$, $-1<p<+\infty$ and $a,γ>0$. We establish, in particular, the existence of travelling waves with speed arbitrary large if $p<0$ and arbitrary close to $0$ if $p>\frac 23$. We also show the existence of standing waves in the case $-1<p\leq \frac 23$, with compact support if $-1<p<0$.\\ Finally, we obtain, under certain conditions, the linearized stability of such solutions.
In this paper, we consider capillary-gravity waves propagating on the interface separating two fluids of finite depth and constant density. The flow in each layer is assumed to be incompressible and of constant vorticity. We prove the existence of small-amplitude solitary wave solutions to this system in the strong surface tension regime via a spatial dynamics approach. We then use a variant of the classical Grillakis--Shatah--Strauss (GSS) method to study the orbital stability/instability of these waves. We find an explicit function of the parameters (Froude number, Bond number, and the depth…
Frequently encountered in nature, internal solitary waves in stratified fluids are well-observed and well-studied from the experimental, the theoretical, and the numerical perspective. From the mathematical point of view, these waves are exact solutions of the 2D Euler equations for incompressible, inviscid fluids. Contrasting with a rich theory for their existence and the development of methods for computing these waves, their stability analysis has hardly received attention at a rigorous mathematical level. This paper proposes a new approach to the investigation of stability of internal soli…
In this paper, we show the orbital stability of solitons arising in the cubic derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equations. We consider the zero mass case that is not covered by earlier works [8, 3]. As this case enjoys L^2 scaling invariance, we expect the orbital stability in the sense up to scaling symmetry, in addition to spatial and phase translations. For the proof, we are based on the variational argument and extend a similar argument in [21]. Moreover, we also show a self-similar type blow up criteria of solutions with the critical mass 4π.
We prove a full asymptotic stability result for solitary wave solutions of the mKdV equation. We consider small perturbations of solitary waves with polynomial decay at infinity and prove that solutions of the Cauchy problem evolving from such data tend uniformly, on the real line, to another solitary wave as time goes to infinity. We describe precisely the asymptotics of the perturbation behind the solitary wave showing that it satisfies a nonlinearly modified scattering behavior. This latter part of our result relies on a precise study of the asymptotic behavior of small solutions of the mKd…
In this paper we prove the well-posedness issues of the associated initial value problem, the existence of nontrivial solutions with prescribed $L^2$-norm, and the stability of associated solitary waves for two classes of coupled nonlinear dispersive equations. The first problem here describes the nonlinear interaction between two Schrödinger type short waves and a generalized Korteweg-de Vries type long wave and the second problem describes the nonlinear interaction of two generalized Korteweg-de Vries type long waves with a common Schrödinger type short wave. The results here extend many of …
The Degasperis-Procesi equation is an approximating model of shallow-water wave propagating mainly in one direction to the Euler equations. Such a model equation is analogous to the Camassa-Holm approximation of the two-dimensional incompressible and irrotational Euler equations with the same asymptotic accuracy, and is integrable with the bi-Hamiltonian structure. In the present study, we establish existence and spectral stability results of localized smooth solitons to the Degasperis-Procesi equation on the real line. The stability proof relies essentially on refined spectral analysis of the…
In this paper, we construct center stable manifolds of unstable line solitary waves for the Zakharov--Kuznetsov equation on $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{T}_L$ and show the orbital stability of the unstable line solitary waves on the center stable manifolds, which yields the asymptotic stability of unstable solitary waves on the center stable manifolds near by stable line solitary waves. The construction is based on the graph transform approach by Nakanishi and Schlag. Applying the bilinear estimate on Fourier restriction spaces by Molinet and Pilod and modifying the mobile distance by Nakanishi a…
The Degasperis-Procesi equation is the integrable Camassa-Holm-type model which is an asymptotic approximation for the unidirectional propagation of shallow water waves. This work establishes the orbital stability of localized smooth solitary waves to the Desgasperis-Procesi (DP) equation on the real line. %extending our previous work on their spectral stability \cite{LLW}. The main difficulty stems from the fact that the translation symmetry for the DP equation gives rise to a conserved quantity equivalent to the $L^2$-norm, which by itself can not bound the higher-order nonlinear terms in th…
We consider the generalized Choquard equation describing trapped electron gas in 3 dimensional case. The study of orbital stability of the energy minimizers (known as ground states) depends essentially in the local uniqueness of these minimizers. In equivalent way one can optimize the Gagliardo--Nirenberg inequality subject to the constraint fixing the $L^2$ norm. The uniqueness of the minimizers for the case $p=2$, i.e. for the case of Hartree--Choquard is well known. The main difficulty for the case $p > 2$ is connected with possible lack of control on the $L^p$ norm of the minimizers.
