Abstract: | The problem of the existence and dynamical stability of solitary wave solutions to a fifth-order evolution equation, generalizing the well-known Korteweg-de Vries equation, is treated. The theoretical framework of the paper is largely based on a recently developed version of positive operator theory in Fréchet spaces (which is used for the existence proof) and the theory of orbital stability for Hamiltonian systems with translationally invariant Hamiltonians. The validity of sufficient conditions for stability are established. The shape of solitary waves under analysis are determined by a numerical solution of the boundary-value problem followed by a correction using the Picard method of 4–12 orders of accuracy. |
