Non-existence of global energy minimisers in Stokes waves problems

Abstract Related Papers Cited by
  • Recently it was shown that a wave profile which minimises total energy, elastic plus hydrodynamic, subject to the vorticity distribution being prescribed, gives rise to a steady hydroelastic wave. Using this formulation, the existence of non-trivial minimisers leading to such waves was established for certain non-zero values of the elastic constants used to model the surface. Here we show that when these constants are zero, global minimisers do not exist except in a unique set of circumstances.
