Stability in the energy space of the sum of \(N\) peakons for the Degasperis-Procesi equation. (English) Zbl 1331.35043

Summary: The Degasperis-Procesi equation possesses well-known peaked solitary waves that are called peakons. Their stability has been established by Z. Lin and Y. Liu [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 62, No. 1, 125–146 (2009; Zbl 1165.35045)]. In this paper, we localize the proof (in some suitable sense detailed in Section 3) of the stability of a single peakon. Thanks to this, we extend the result of stability to the sum of \(N\) peakons traveling to the right with respective speeds \(c_1, \ldots, c_N\), such that the difference between consecutive locations of peakons is large enough.
