Small-amplitude steady water waves with critical layers: non-symmetric waves

Abstract

The problem for two-dimensional steady water waves with vorticity is considered. Using methods of spatial dynamics, we reduce the problem to a finite dimensional Hamiltonian system. As an application, we prove the existence of non-symmetric steady water waves when the number of roots of the dispersion equation is greater than 1.
