Stability of periodic waves in Hamiltonian PDEs

Sylvie Benzoni-Gavage, Pascal Noble, L. Miguel Rodrigues (2013)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

Partial differential equations endowed with a Hamiltonian structure, like the Korteweg–de Vries equation and many other more or less classical models, are known to admit rich families of periodic travelling waves. The stability theory for these waves is still in its infancy though. The issue has been tackled by various means. Of course, it is always possible to address stability from the spectral point of view. However, the link with nonlinear stability  - in fact, orbital stability, since we are...

Symmetries of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Benoît Grébert, Thomas Kappeler (2002)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Symmetries of the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation are expressed in action-angle coordinates and characterized in terms of the periodic and Dirichlet spectrum of the associated Zakharov-Shabat system. Application: proof of the conjecture that the periodic spectrum < λ k - λ k + < λ k + 1 - of a Zakharov-Shabat operator is symmetric,i.e. λ k ± = - λ - k for all k , if and only if the sequence ( γ k ) k of gap lengths, γ k : = λ k + - λ k - , is symmetric with respect to k = 0 .
