A note on the existence of traveling-wave solutions to a Boussinesq system.

Abstract: We obtain a one-parameter family

(u_{mu}(x,t),eta_{mu}(x,t))_{mugeq mu_0}=(phi_{mu}(x-omega_{mu} t),psi_{mu}(x-omega_{mu} t))_{mugeq mu_0}

of traveling-wave solutions to the Boussinesq system

u_t+eta_x+uu_x+ceta_{xxx}=0,eta_t+u_x+(eta u)_x+au_{xxx}=0

in the case

a, c < 0

, with non-null speeds

o m e g a_{m u}

arbitrarily close to

0

(

o m e g a_{m u} x r i g h t a r r o w [m u o + i n f t y] 0

). We show that the

L^{2}

-size of such traveling-waves satisfies the uniform (in

m u

) estimate

| p h i_{m u} |_{2}^{2} + | p s i_{m u} |_{2}^{2} l e q C s q r t | a | + | c |,

where

C

is a positive constant. Furthermore,

p h i_{m u}

and

- p s i_{m u}

are smooth, non-negative, radially decreasing functions which decay exponentially at infinity.
