Benjamin-Ono periodic bifurcating water waves in presence of an essential spectrum (Q2466258)

The author studies two problems for which the bottom layer of fluid is infinitely deep. The two problems consist in a system of two superposed layers of immiscible perfect fluids (densities \(\rho_1\)-upper layer, and \(\rho_2\)-bottom layer) assuming that there is no surface tension at the interface and assuming that the flow is potential in each layer and subject to gravity. The thickness at the rest of the upper layer is \(h\) while the bottom layer is infinitely deep. In the first problem the author assumes that the upper layer is bounded above by a rigid horizontal tap, while in the second problem the author assumes that there is a free upper surface with surface tension.
