Abstract: The Degasperis-Procesi equation is the integrable Camassa-Holm-type model which is an asymptotic approximation for the unidirectional propagation of shallow water waves. This work establishes the orbital stability of localized smooth solitary waves to the Desgasperis-Procesi (DP) equation on the real line. %extending our previous work on their spectral stability cite{LLW}. The main difficulty stems from the fact that the translation symmetry for the DP equation gives rise to a conserved quantity equivalent to the L2-norm, which by itself can not bound the higher-order nonlinear terms in the Lagrangian. The remedy is to observe that, given a sufficiently smooth initial condition satisfying a measurable constraint, the Linfty orbital norm of the perturbation is bounded above by a function of its L2 orbital norm, yielding the orbital stability in the L2capLinfty space.
