Existence, multiplicity, and orbital stability for travelling waves in a nonlinearly supported beam (English)
[ Abstract ]
For a nonlinear beam equation with exponential nonlinearity, we prove existence of at least 36 travelling wave solutions for the specific wave speed c=1.3. Our proof makes heavy use of computer assistance: starting from numerical approximations, we use a fixed point argument to prove existence of solutions "close to" the approximate ones. Furthermore we investigate the orbital stability of these solutions by making use of both analytical and computer-assisted techniques.
