[Sur l'existence et la stabilité des ondes solitaires en présence d'une faible tension superficielle]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 348 (2010) no. 7-8, pp. 397-402.

Récemment, Buffoni (2005, 2009) [2,3] a développé une théorie d'existence et de stabilité des ondes solitaires de surface dans le cas d'une faible tension de surface. Cette théorie, qui est de nature variationnelle, repose sur l'hypothèse que l'infimum d'une certaine fonctionnelle variationnelle est strictement sous-homogène par rapport à un petit paramètre. Dans cette Note, on démontre cette propriété de sous-homogénéité stricte complétant ansi la théorie de Buffoni.

An existence and stability theory for solitary water waves with weak surface tension has recently been given by Buffoni (2005, 2009) [2,3]. The theory, which is variational in nature, relies upon the assumption that the infimum of the variational functional is strictly subhomogeneous with respect to a small parameter. In this Note we rigorously establish the relevant strict-subhomogeneity property and thus complete Buffoni's theory.
