A variational method to study the Zakharov equation

A variational method given by Ritz has been applied to the Zakharov equation to construct an analytical solution. The solution of Zakharov equation gives a good description of both linear and nonlinear evolutions of instabilities generated in waves due to modulation. The spatially periodic trial fun...
