Modulational stability of Korteweg-de Vries and Boussinesq wavetrains

The modulational stability of both the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and the Boussinesq wavetrains is investigated using Whitham's variational method. It is shown that both KdV and Boussinesq wavetrains are modulationally stable. This result seems to confirm why it is possible to transform the KdV eq...
