Convergence of linear solutions through convergence of periodic initial data

Harrison Gaebler, Wesley R Perkins

When studying the stability of -periodic solutions to partial differential equations, it is common to encounter subharmonic perturbations, i.e. perturbations which have a period…

On the Modulation of Wave Trains in the Ostrovsky Equation

Mathew A. Johnson, Jeffrey Oregero, Wesley R. Perkins

We consider the nonlinear wave modulation of arbitrary amplitude periodic traveling wave solutions of the Ostrovsky equation, which arises as a model for the unidirectional propaga…

Rigorous justification of the Whitham modulation equations for equations of Whitham-type

William A. Clarke, Robert Marangell, Wesley R. Perkins

We prove that the modulational instability criterion of the formal Whitham modulation theory agrees with the spectral stability of long wavelength perturbations of periodic travell…

Moving modulating pulse and front solutions of permanent form in a FPU model with nearest and next-to-nearest neighbor interaction

Bastian Hilder, Björn de Rijk, Guido Schneider

We consider a nonlinear chain of coupled oscillators, which is a direct generalization of the classical FPU lattice and exhibits, besides the usual nearest neighbor interaction, al…
