Abstract: In this work, we consider the following generalized Boussinesq equation �egin{align*} partial_{t}^2u-partial_{x}^2u+partial_{x}^2(partial_{x}^2u+|u|^{p}u)=0,qquad (t,x)inmathbb R imes mathbb R, end{align*} with 0<p<infty. This equation has the traveling wave solutions phiomega(xomegat), with the frequency omegain(1,1) and phiomega satisfying �egin{align*} -partial_{xx}{phi}_{omega}+(1-{omega^2}){phi}_{omega}-{phi}_{omega}^{p+1}=0. end{align*} Bona and Sachs (1988) proved that the traveling wave phiomega(xomegat) is orbitally stable when 0<p<4, fracp4<omega2<1. Liu (1993) proved the orbital instability under the conditions 0<p<4, omega2<fracp4 or pge4, omega2<1. In this paper, we prove the orbital instability in the degenerate case 0<p<4,omega2=fracp4 .
