Periodic solitons for the elliptic-elliptic focussing Davey-Stewartson equations

We consider the elliptic-elliptic, focussing Davey-Stewartson equations, which have an explicit bright line soliton solution. The existence of a family of periodic solitons, which have the profile of the line soliton in the longitudinal spatial direction and are periodic in the transverse spatial direction, is established using dynamical systems arguments. We also show that the line soliton is linearly unstable with respect to perturbations in the transverse direction.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1411.247
