Abstract

The rotation modified Kadomtsev Petviashvili equation which is also known as the Kadomtsev Petviashvili Ostrovsky equation, describes the gradual wave field diffusion in the transverse direction to the direction of the propagation of the wave in a rotating frame of reference. This equation is a generalization of the Ostrovsky equation additionally having weak transverse effects. We investigate transverse instability and stability of small periodic traveling waves of the Ostrovsky equation with respect to either periodic or square integrable perturbations in the direction of wave propagation and periodic perturbations in the transverse direction of motion in the rotation modified Kadomtsev Petviashvili equation. We also study transverse stability or instability in generalized rotation modified KP equation by taking dispersion term as general and quadratic and cubic nonlinearity. As a consequence, we obtain transverse stability or instability in two-dimensional generalization of RMBO equation, Ostrovsky-Gardner equation, Ostrovsky-fKdV equation, Ostrovsky-mKdV equation, Ostrovsky-ILW equation, Ostrovsky-Whitham etc.
