Stability of peakons for the Degasperis-Procesi equation
arXiv:0712.2007
Abstract
The Degasperis-Procesi equation can be derived as a member of a one-parameter family of asymptotic shallow water approximations to the Euler equations with the same asymptotic accuracy as that of the Camassa-Holm equation. In this paper, we study the orbital stability problem of the peaked solitons to the Degasperis-Procesi equation on the line. By constructing a Liapunov function, we prove that the shapes of these peakon solitons are stable under small perturbations.
