Extract

The method to be described provides an alternative means of dealing with certain non-standard linear boundary-value problems. It is developed in several applications to the theory of gravity-capillary waves. The analysis is based on a variational formulation of the hydrodynamic problem, being motivated by and extending the original study by Benjamin and Scott [3].
