Abstract

We consider two-dimensional water-waves of permanent shape with a constant proagation speed. Two theorems concerning the uniqueness of certain solutions are rported. Uniqueness of Crapper's pure capillary waves is proved under a positivity assumption. The proof is based on the theory of positive operators. Also proved is the uniqueness of the positive gravity waves of infinite depth with moderately large amplitude. This is accomplished by a combination of new inequalities and a numerical verification algorithm. Possibilities and impossibilities of other uniqueness theorems are discussed.
