Abstract
AbstractThe Novikov equation is a peakon equation with cubic nonlinearity, which, like the Camassa–Holm and the Degasperis–Procesi, is completely integrable. In this paper, we study the spectral and linear stability of peakon solutions of the Novikov equation. We prove spectral instability of the peakons in . To do so, we start with a linearized operator defined on and extend it to a linearized operator defined on weaker functions in . The spectrum of the linearized operator in is proven to cover a closed vertical strip of the complex plane. Furthermore, we prove that the peakons are spectrally unstable on and linearly and spectrally stable on . The result on is in agreement with previous work about linear instability and our result on is in line with past work on orbital stability.
