(Non)linear instability of periodic traveling waves: Klein–Gordon and KdV type equations

We prove the existence and nonlinear instability of periodic traveling wave solutions for the critical one-dimensional Klein–Gordon equation. We also establish a linear instability criterium for a KdV type system. An application of this approach is made to obtain the linear/nonlinear instability of...
