Abstract
The stability of periodic solutions to the steady forced Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (fKdVB) equation is investigated here. This family of periodic solutions was identified by Hattam and Clarke (2015) using a multi-scale perturbation technique. Here, Floquet theory is applied to the governing equation. Consequently, two criteria are found that determine when the periodic solutions are stable. This analysis is then confirmed by a numerical study of the steady fKdVB equation.
