We study local well-posedness and orbital stability/instability of standing waves for a first order system associated with a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation on a star graph. The proof of the well-posedness uses a classical fixed point…
Partial differential equations endowed with a Hamiltonian structure, like the Korteweg--de Vries equation and many other more or less classical models, are known to admit rich families of periodic travelling waves. The stability theory for…

The $m$-waves of Kelvin are uniformly rotating patch solutions of the 2D Euler equations with $m$-fold rotational symmetry for $m\geq 2$. For Kelvin waves sufficiently close to the disc, we prove a nonlinear stability result up to an…
The nonlinear Schroedinger equation has several families of quasi-periodic travelling waves, each of which can be parametrized up to symmetries by two real numbers: the period of the modulus of the wave profile, and the variation of its…
Coherent structures, such as solitary waves, appear in many physical problems, including fluid mechanics, optics, quantum physics, and plasma physics. A less studied setting is found in geophysics, where highly viscous fluids couple to…

We prove that the peakons are asymptotically H 1-stable, under the flow of the Degasperis-Procesi equation, in the class of functions with a momentum density that belongs to M + (R). The key argument is a rigidity result for uniformly in…
The Camassa-Holm equation (CH) is a well known integrable equation describing the velocity dynamics of shallow water waves. This equation exhibits spontaneous emergence of singular solutions (peakons) from smooth initial conditions. The CH…

We extend the notion of orbital stability to systems of nonlinear Schrodinger equations, then we prove this property under suitable assumptions of the local nonlinearity involved.
Following the original approach introduced by T. Cazenave and P.L. Lions in \cite{CaLi} we prove the existence and the orbital stability of standing waves for the following class of NLS: \label{intr1} i\partial_t u+ \Delta u - V(x) u + Q(x)…
We study the stability of standing-waves solutions to a scalar non-linear Klein-Gordon equation in dimension one with a quadratic-cubic non-linearity. Orbits are obtained by applying the semigroup generated by the negative complex unit…
The present paper deals with sufficient conditions for orbital stability of periodic waves of a general class of evolution equations supporting nonlinear dispersive waves. Our method can be seen as an extension to spatially periodic waves…
We give a geometric proof of spectral stability of travelling kink wave solutions to the sine-Gordon equation. For a travelling kink wave solution of speed $c \neq \pm 1$, the wave is spectrally stable. The proof uses the Maslov index as a…
