X Abstract

An amplitude equation in the form of a perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived for parametric excitation of surface waves in an extended system. Continuous symmetries of the unperturbed system are used to identify critical modes. Dynamical equations for the latter are derived using singular perturbation theory. The existence of a stable nonpropagating kink solution is predicted. The solution connects two uniform states whose phases of oscillations differ by π ; and should be observable in wide enough cells. A stable nonpropagating soliton solution is found for subcritical excitation.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
