Orbital stability investigations for travelling waves in a nonlinearly supported beam (Q2327416)

This paper investigates the orbital stability of the traveling waves solutions of the following nonlinear beam equation: \[ \varphi_{tt} + \varphi_{xxxx} + e^{\varphi} - 1 = 0, \qquad (x, t) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}. \] More precisely, this paper rigorously prove the orbital stability for one traveling wave, and orbital instability for 15 traveling waves among the 36 known traveling waves, solutions to this equation. The employed method to achieve these results combines analytical and computed-assisted techniques.
