Convexity conjecture for Whitham's highest cusped wave
Convexity conjecture for Whitham's highest cusped wave
Let be the profile of a highest cusped periodic traveling-wave solution of Whitham's equation, with speed , satisfying
where has Fourier symbol . Convexity conjecture for Whitham's highest cusped wave. The profile is everywhere convex and, near the crest at , satisfies
This conjecture concerns the global shape and precise crest asymptotics of the highest cusped wave. The source presents it as a conjecture of Ehrnström and Wahlén; no resolution is supplied in the provided text.
