Periodic waves for the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation: Existence and orbital stability

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we prove existence and orbital stability results of periodic standing waves for the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We use the implicit function theorem to construct a smooth curve of explicit periodic waves with <i>dnoidal</i> profile and such construction can be used to prove that the associated period map is strictly increasing in terms of the energy levels. The monotonicity is also useful to obtain the behaviour of the non-positive spectrum for the associated linearized operator around the wave. Concerning the stability, we prove that the dnoidal waves are orbitally stable in the energy space restricted to the even functions.</p>
