The existence and linear stability problem for the Stokes periodic wavetrain on fluids of finite depth is formulated in terms of the spatial and temporal Hamiltonian structure of the water-wave problem. A proof, within the Hamiltonian framework, of instability of the Stokes periodic wavetrain is presented. A Hamiltonian center-manifold analysis reduces the linear stability problem to an ordinary differential eigenvalue problem on \(\mathbb{R}^4\). A projection of the reduced stability problem onto the tangent space of the 2-manifold of periodic Stokes waves is used to prove the existence of a dispersion relation.
