An index theorem for the stability of periodic traveling waves of KdV type
Jared C. Bronski, Mathew A. Johnson, Todd Kapitula
We consider periodic solutions to equations of Korteweg-Devries type. While the stability theory for periodic waves has received much some attention the theory is much less develop…

Nonlinear Stability of Periodic Traveling Wave Solutions of the Generalized Korteweg-de Vries Equation
Mathew A. Johnson
In this paper, we study the orbital stability for a four-parameter family of periodic stationary traveling wave solutions to the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation. In particul…
