Quasi-periodic solutions for a generalized higher-order Boussinesq equation (Q6113177)

The authors consider an eighth-order one-dimensional Boussinesq equation with periodic boundary conditions and study the existence and linear stability of small-amplitude quasi-periodic solutions for the associated boundary value problem. They first write this problem as an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian system, which is then put in a suitable form to be studied with KAM theory by using symplectic coordinates. After obtaining the Birkhoff normal form, the authors prove that the considered boundary value problem has a family of small-amplitude quasi-periodic solutions by using a well-known Cantor manifold theorem.
