We will study the existence and stability of periodic travelling-wave solutions of the nonlinear one-dimensional Boussinesq-type equationPeriodic travelling-wave solutions with an arbitrary fundamental period T 0 will be built by using Jacobian elliptic functions. Stability (orbital) of these solutions by periodic disturbances with period T 0 will be a consequence of the general stability criteria given by M. Grillakis, J. Shatah, and W. Strauss. A complete study of the periodic eigenvalue problem associated to the Lame equation is set up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
