Abstract

In this contribution we present High-Order Perturbation of Surfaces (HOPS) methods as applied to the spectral stability problem for traveling water waves. The Transformed Field Expansion method (TFE) is used for both the traveling wave and its spectral data. The Lyapunov-Schmidt reductions for simple and repeated eigenvalues are compared. The asymptotics of modulational instabilities are discussed.
