Abstract

In this paper, we use a variational approach to show the analyticity of solitons (traveling waves of finite energy) and the existence of x-periodic traveling waves for a certain sixth order dispersive equation that arises in the study of the deformations of a hyperelastic compressible plate. We also establish that x-periodic traveling waves have almost the same shape of solitons as the period tends to infinity, by showing that a special sequence of periodic traveling wave solutions parameterized by the period converges to a soliton in a appropriate sense.
