Abstract
The analysis of solitary waves is an important topic in studying the dynamic of water wave models. The thesis will be divided into two parts:
In the first part, we focus on the solitary waves solutions to the Boussinesq abcd system. The Boussinesq abcd system arises in the modeling of long wave small amplitude water waves in a channel, where the four parameters abcd satisfy one constraint. In particular we work in two parameter regimes where the system does not admit a Hamiltonian structure (corresponding to b not equal to d ). We prove via analytic global bifurcation techniques the existence of solitary waves in such parameter regimes. Some qualitative properties of the solutions are also derived, from which sharp results can be obtained for the global solution curves. Specifically, we first construct solutions bifurcating from the stationary waves, and obtain a global continuous curve of solutions that exhibits a loss of ellipticity in the limit. The second family of solutions bifurcate from the classical Boussinesq supercritical waves. We show that the curve associated to the second class either undergoes a loss of ellipticity in the limit or becomes arbitrarily close to having a stagnation point.
In the second part, we consider the Camassa-Holm-Kadomtsev-Petviashvili-I equation (CH-KP-I), which is a two dimensional generalization of the Camassa-Holm equation (CH). We prove transverse instability of the line solitary waves under periodic transverse perturbations. The proof is based on the framework of Rousset-Tzvetkov. Due to the high nonlinearity, our proof requires necessary modification.
In more detail, we first establish the linear instability of the line solitary waves. Then through an approximation procedure, we prove that the linear effect actually dominates the nonlinear behavior.
