Asymptotic stability of solitary waves for the b-family of equations
Abstract
We establish the asymptotic stability of lefton solutions-exponentially localized stationary solitary waves-for the $b$-family of equations with positive momentum density in the regime $b < -1$. Unlike the completely integrable Camassa-Holm $(b=2)$ and Degasperis-Procesi $(b=3)$ cases, this parameter range lies outside integrability and exhibits distinct nonlinear dynamics. Our analysis adapts the Martel-Merle framework for generalized KdV equations to the nonlocal, non-integrable structure of the $b$-family of equations. The proof combines a nonlinear Liouville property for solutions localized near leftons with a refined spectral analysis of the associated linearized operator. These results provide the first rigorous asymptotic stability theory for leftons in the non-integrable $b$-family of equations.
