Orbital Stability of Travelling Waves for Some Classical Equations
This talk is concerned with nonlinear stability properties of periodic traveling wave solutions for some classical equations. Periodic traveling wave solutions will be constructed by using the Jacobi elliptic functions. It will be shown that these solutions are nonlinearly stable in the respective energy space by periodic disturbances with period $L$.
