Abstract

In this work we study the orbital stability/instability in the energy space of a specific family of periodic wave solutions of the general ϕ4n\phi^{4n}-model for all nNn\in\mathbb{N}. This family of periodic solutions are orbiting around the origin in the corresponding phase portrait and, in the standing case, are related (in a proper sense) with the aperiodic Kink solution that connect the states 12-\tfrac{1}{2} with 12\tfrac{1}{2}. In the traveling case, we prove the orbital instability in the whole energy space for all nNn\in\mathbb{N}, while in the standing case we prove that, under some additional parity assumptions, these solutions are orbitally stable for all nNn\in\mathbb{N}.
