Weakly non-linear, slowly varying waves and their instabilities
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
A non-linear Klein–Gordon equation is used to discuss the theory of slowly varying, weakly non-linear wave trains. An averaged variational principle is used to obtain transport equations for the slow variations which incorporate the leading order modulation and non-linear terms. Linearized transport equations are used to discuss instabilities.
