Orbital Stability of Periodic Traveling Waves for the "abcd" Boussinesq Systems
Abstract
New results concerning the orbital stability of periodic traveling wave
solutions for the "abcd" Boussinesq model will be shown in this manuscript. For
the existence of solutions, we use basic tools of ordinary differential
equations to show that the corresponding periodic wave depends on the Jacobi
elliptic function of cnoidal type. The spectral analysis for the associated
linearized operator is determined by using some tools concerning the Floquet
theory. The orbital stability is then established by applying the abstract
results [2] and [14] which give us sufficient conditions to the orbital
stability for a general class of evolution equations.
