Spectral analysis of small amplitude periodic $b$-Novikov equation under transverse perturbations

This paper is devoted to the transverse stability problem for small-amplitude periodic traveling waves of the $b$-Novikov equation, which arises as a two-dimensional extension of the $b$-family hierarchy. The perturbations under consideration fall into two groups. One group matches the fundamental period of the underlying wave along the longitudinal direction, while the other consists of profiles that are bounded or localized in the transverse direction. We perform spectral analysis of the associated linearized operator and derive precise stability and instability thresholds. The resulting conditions exhibit intricate dependence on two key parameters including the cubic coupling strength $b$ and the wavenumber $k$.

Modulational instability of small amplitude periodic traveling waves in the $b$-family of Novikov equation

We study the modulational instability of smooth, small-amplitude periodic traveling wave solutions to the $b$-family of Novikov equation with cubic nonlinearity with an arbitrary coefficient $b>0$. Our approach is based on applying spectral perturbation theory to the corresponding linearization process. We derive a modulation instability index dependent on the nonlinear parameter $b$ and the fundamental wave number, and prove that when this index is negative, sufficiently small periodic traveling waves in the Novikov equation $b$-family exhibit spectral instability to long-wavelength perturbations. This confirms the well-known Benjamin-Feir instability in the $b$-family of Novikov equation.

Monotonicity of the periodic waves for the perturbed generalized defocusing mKdV equation

In this paper, we study the existence of periodic waves for the perturbed generalized defocusing mKdV equation using the theory of geometric singular perturbation. By Abelian integral and involution operation, we prove that the limit wave speed c_0(h) is monotonic with respect to energy h,and the lower bound of the limit wave speed is found. These works extend the main result of Chen et al. (2018) to the generalized case. Some numerical simulations are conducted to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis.

Stability of smooth periodic travelling waves in the Dullin-Gottwald-Holm equation

The existence of smooth periodic traveling solutions in the Dullin-Gottwald-Holm (DGH) equation and the monotonicity of the period function are clarified. By introducing two suitable parameters, we show the existence of periodic travelling solutions of DGH equation in a concise way. The monotonicity of period function with respect to different variables are proved by using Chicone's criterion and the method developed by Geyer and Villadelprat. The problem of the spectral stability of smooth periodic waves in the DGH equation is discussed. Within the functional-analytic framework, we obtain a criterion for the spectral stability of smooth periodic traveling waves in DGH equation. In addition, we show the smooth periodic travelling solutions are orbitally stable under certain conditions.
