Stability of periodic peaked solitary waves for a cubic Camassa-Holm-type equation (Q2161092)

This paper mainly focuses on the cubic Camassa-Holm-type equation for which there is a huge literature, especially for its subcases such as Camassa-Holm equation. The authors' main aim is to prove the orbital stability of the periodic peaked solitary wave solutions. They take the advantage of writing the equation in Hamiltonian form and obtaining conservation laws. They underline the structure of the equation having both quadratic and cubic terms with nonlinear dispersion so that it supports all kinds of solitary waves including smooth, peakon, compacton, tipon, cuspon and so on. Since stability of solitary waves is one of the fundamental properties of the solutions of nonlinear wave equations, the authors had the motivation to prove the existence and orbital stability of periodic peaked solitary waves. Even though they follow the ideas used for Camassa-Holm type equations, conservation laws differ (for example from generalized \(\mu\)-Camassa-Holm equation,) and they need new approaches. The structure of the paper is to give the literature about cubic Camassa-Holm type equation, prove the existence of periodic peaked solitary wave solutions and prove orbital stability in the energy space \(H^1(\mathbb{S})\).
