Abstract:
The main result of the paper is a theorem stating that the modulation instability of a carrier periodic wave of small (but finite) amplitude propagating in an arbitrary dispersive medium may only be convective in a reference frame moving at a velocity that differs finitely from the group velocity of this wave. The application of this result to the radiation of a resonant wave by a soliton-like “core” is discussed. Such radiation occurs in media where classical solitary waves are replaced with generalized solitary waves as a result of linear resonance of long and short waves. Generalized solitary waves are traveling waves that form a homoclinic structure doubly asymptotic to a periodic wave.
Keywords:radiation of a resonant wave, convective modulation instability, central manifold, reduced system of equations, generalized solitary wave.
