Abstract

We obtain a one-parameter family (uμ(x,t),ημ(x,t))μμ0=(ϕμ(xωμt),ψμ(xωμt))μμ0(u_{\mu}(x,t),\eta_{\mu}(x,t))_{\mu\geq \mu_0}=(\phi_{\mu}(x-\omega_{\mu} t),\psi_{\mu}(x-\omega_{\mu} t))_{\mu\geq \mu_0} of traveling-wave solutions to the Boussinesq system ut+ηx+uux+cηxxx=0,ηt+ux+(ηu)x+auxxx=0u_t+\eta_x+uu_x+c\eta_{xxx}=0,\eta_t+u_x+(\eta u)_x+au_{xxx}=0 in the case a,c<0a,c<0, with non-null speeds ωμ\omega_{\mu} arbitrarily close to 00 (ωμμ+0\omega_{\mu}\xrightarrow[\mu\to+\infty]{} 0). We show that the L2L^2-size of such traveling-waves satisfies the uniform (in μ\mu) estimate ϕμ22+ψμ22Ca+c,\|\phi_{\mu}\|_2^2+\|\psi_{\mu}\|_2^2\leq C\sqrt{|a|+|c|}, where CC is a positive constant. Furthermore, ϕμ\phi_{\mu} and ψμ-\psi_{\mu} are smooth, non-negative, radially decreasing functions which decay exponentially at infinity.
