Energetic stability threshold conjecture for even and odd periodic waves
Energetic stability threshold conjecture for even and odd periodic waves
For a fixed spatial period , let denote the energy of the periodic waves, and let and be the lower endpoints of the parameter intervals for the even and odd waves satisfying the equations referred to as (even-wave) and (odd-wave), respectively. Energetic stability is determined by the sign criterion in Theorem (th-stability).
Energetic stability threshold conjecture. There is and such that the even wave satisfying (even-wave) is energetically stable for and unstable for , whereas the odd wave satisfying (odd-wave) is energetically stable for and unstable for .
This conjecture formalizes the numerical observation that both even and odd periodic waves are energetically stable for smaller values of and become energetically unstable as approaches . The claim is based on the numerical approximations and the sharp stability criterion stated in the cited theorem; its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
