Title: Dimension breaking and numerical continuation
Abstract: In this talk, a method for computing large amplitude overturned three dimensional traveling waves will be discussed. The method is based on a dimension-breaking numerical continuation procedure. Both standard continuation methods for computing traveling waves and the dimension-breaking approach will be presented. The primary difficulty in dimension breaking is in constructing an asymptotic solution for weakly three-dimensional solutions. The structure of the governing equations for this asymptotic solution will be discussed, as well as a solution procedure for systems like the water wave problem.
