Abstract

We consider smooth solutions of the Burgers–Hilbert equation that are a small perturbation $δ$ from a global periodic traveling wave with small amplitude $𝜖$ . We use a modified energy method to prove the existence time of smooth solutions on a time scale of $1 ∕ (𝜖 δ)$ , with $0 < δ ≪ 𝜖 ≪ 1$ , and on a time scale of $𝜖 ∕ δ^{2}$ , with $0 < δ ≪ 𝜖^{2} ≪ 1$ . Moreover, we show that the traveling wave exists for an amplitude $𝜖$ in the range $(0, 𝜖^{*})$ , with $𝜖^{*} \sim 0.23$ , and fails to exist for $𝜖 > 2 ∕ e$ .
