Improvements are made on the theory for the stability of solitary waves developed by T. B. Benjamin. The results apply equally to the Kortewegde Vries equation and to an alternative model equation for the propagation of long waves in nonlinear dispersive media.


The role of second order resonance among wavelike disturbances is examined with reference to the subcritical stability or instability of shear flows. Nonlinear stability criteria are derived which may often improve upon the ‘single-mode’ criterion of Stuart (i960) and Joseph & Sattinger 1972).

In this paper, we use the new defined direct algebraic method based on some particular Riccati equations to find exact solutions to a Kaup–Newell model equation. Several new solutions which represent long waves parallel to the magnetic fields have been obtained. Many solutions in generalized hyperbolic and triangular function forms, exponential or logarithmic, are expressed explicitly. Most of the solutions determined in the study are new in the related literature.
