We consider the existence of periodic traveling waves in a bidirectional Whitham equation, combining the full two-way dispersion relation from the incompressible Euler equations with a canonical shallow water nonlinearity. Of particular…
A regularized Boussinesq equation is studied as a dispersive, long-wave (quasicontinuum) approximation of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice with a general cubic interaction force. Explicit periodic traveling wave solutions in terms of Jacobi…
We consider the Whitham equation $u_t + 2u u_x+Lu_x = 0$, where L is the nonlocal Fourier multiplier operator given by the symbol $m(\xi) = \sqrt{\tanh \xi /\xi}$. G. B. Whitham conjectured that for this equation there would be a highest,…
Recently, the Whitham and capillary-Whitham equations were shown to accurately model the evolution of surface waves on shallow water. In order to gain a deeper understanding of these equations, we compute periodic, traveling-wave solutions…
The Whitham equation is a model for the evolution of surface waves on shallow water that combines the unidirectional linear dispersion relation of the Euler equations with a weakly nonlinear approximation based on the KdV equation. We show…
We prove the existence of highest, cusped, periodic travelling-wave solutions with exact and optimal $ \alpha $-H\"older continuity in a class of fractional negative-order dispersive equations of the form \begin{equation*} u_t + (|…
The Whitham equation is a nonlocal shallow water-wave model which combines the quadratic nonlinearity of the KdV equation with the linear dispersion of the full water wave problem. Whitham conjectured the existence of a highest, cusped,…
In this paper we prove the existence of a periodic highest, cusped, traveling wave solution for the Burgers-Hilbert equation $f_{t} + f f_{x} = H[f]$ and give its asymptotic behaviour at $0$. The proof combines careful asymptotic analysis…
This is a study of singular solutions of the problem of traveling gravity water waves on flows with vorticity. We show that, for a certain class of vorticity functions, a sequence of regular waves converges to an extreme wave with…
The Whitham equation is a model for the evolution of small-amplitude, unidirectional waves of all wavelengths on shallow water. It has been shown to accurately model the evolution of waves in laboratory experiments. We compute…
The cubic-vortical Whitham equation is a model for wave motion on a vertically sheared current of constant vorticity in a shallow inviscid fluid. It generalizes the classical Whitham equation by allowing constant vorticity and by adding a…
We prove the existence of a global bifurcation branch of $2\pi$-periodic, smooth, traveling-wave solutions of the Whitham equation. It is shown that any subset of solutions in the global branch contains a sequence which converges uniformly…
We prove exact leading-order asymptotic behaviour at the origin for nontrivial solutions of two families of nonlocal equations. The equations investigated include those satisfied by the cusped highest steady waves for both the uni- and…
We study traveling waves for a class of fractional Korteweg--De Vries and fractional Degasperis--Procesi equations with a parametrized Fourier multiplier operator of order $-s \in (-1, 0)$. For both equations there exist local analytic…
We show the existence of periodic traveling waves at the free surface of a two dimensional, infinitely deep, and constant vorticity flow, under gravity, whose profiles are overhanging, including one which intersects itself to enclose a…
By a bifurcation argument we prove that the capillary-gravity Whitham equation features asymmetrical periodic travelling wave solution of arbitrarily small amplitude. Such waves exist only in the weak surface tension regime…
We study modulational stability and instability in the Whitham equation, combining the dispersion relation of water waves and a nonlinearity of the shallow water equations, and modified to permit the effects of surface tension and constant…
We derive the Whitham modulation equations for the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation via a multiple scales expansion and averaging two conservation laws over one oscillation period of its periodic traveling wave solutions. We then use the Whitham…
In this paper we prove the existence of highest, cusped, traveling wave solutions for the fractional KdV equations $f_t + f f_x = |D|^{\alpha} f_x$ for all $\alpha \in (-1,0)$ and give their exact leading asymptotic behavior at zero. The…
In this paper, we investigate the existence and spectral stability of periodic traveling wave solutions for the regularized Camassa-Holm equation. To establish the existence of periodic waves, we employ tools from bifurcation theory to…
