Stability and Instability of Solitary Wave Solutions of a Nonlinear Dispersive System of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony Type

Abstract

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35B35, 35B40, 35Q35, 76B25, 76E30.This paper concerns the orbital stability and instability of solitary waves of the system of coupling equations of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony type. By applying the abstract results of Grillakis, Shatah and Strauss and detailed spectral analysis, we obtain the existence and stability of the solitary waves.Partially Supported by Grant MM-810/98 of MESC and by Scientefic Research Grant 19/12.03.2003 of Shumen University
