Abstract of the thesis

Stability of solitary waves

This thesis is devoted to the stability of solitary waves, and more precisely to the applications of the Maslov index to the spectral stability problem. We show how the stability problem can be related to a family of linear Hamiltonian ODE. It is then possible to define a Maslov index for periodic waves and solitary waves. We compute the limit, when it exists, of the Maslov index of a sequence of periodic waves which converges to a solitary wave. We describe how exterior algebra can be used to compute the Maslov index, both in the periodic and solitary wave cases. We then use this framework for solitary waves and periodic waves arising in the Kawahara equation and for solitary waves arising in a longwave-shortwave interaction system. Lastly, we deal with the stability of stationary solutions of a model for flows over a non-uniform bottom by using a slightly different method.
