Olga Trichtchenko (University College London):
Comparison of stability of solutions to Hamiltonian water wave models
Abstract:
The goal of this work is to compare and contrast the stability results for solutions to different models for water waves.
It is known that high frequency instabilities exist for the nonlinear solutions to Euler's equations describing water waves [1, 2],
however not all models exhibit these instabilities. We will use a generalization of the theory used to predict existence of high
frequency instabilities in periodic Hamiltonian systems first proposed by MacKay [3] as well as Mackay and Saffman [4]
to see which water wave models meet the necessary conditions for these instabilities to arise. We will then examine
how these instabilities change if different conditions at the surface are included [5].
