Scattering of solutions and stability of solitary waves for the generalized BBM-ZK equation (Q396517)

The following equation is considered as the generalized BBM-ZK equation: \(u_t + \epsilon u_x -(u_{xt}+\beta u_{yy})_x +(f(u))_x=0,\) where \(u\) is a real valued function. In earlier work, the author showed that the equation is globally well-posed in an appropriate functional space \(X\) continuously embedded in \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^2).\) In this paper, the author shows a nonlinear scattering result for small perturbations and proves the stability of solitary waves for this equation. This stability is studied comparatively with respective results for two other equations of the same family.
