Abstract
A family of steady periodic water waves in very deep fluids when
the surface tension is present and satisfying the following
nonlinear pseudo-differential equation
$ u_t + u u_x + u_{x x x} +l \mathcal{H} u_{x x}=0$, known as the
Benjamin equation, is shown to exist. Here $\mathcal{H}$ denotes the periodic
Hilbert transform and $l \in\mathbb{R}$. By fixing a minimal period we
obtain, via the implicit function theorem, an analytic curve of
periodic travelling-wave solutions depending on the parameter $l$. Moreover,
by making some changes in the abstract stability theory developed by
Grillakis, Shatah, and Strauss, we prove that these travelling waves
are nonlinearly stable to perturbations with the same wavelength.
