The generalized fractional Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (gfBBM) equation models the propagation of small amplitude long unidirectional waves in a nonlocally and nonlinearly elastic medium. The equation involves two fractional terms unlike the well-known fBBM equation. In this paper, we prove local existence and uniqueness of the solutions for the Cauchy problem. The sufficient conditions for the existence of solitary wave solutions are obtained. The Petviashvili method is proposed for the generation of the solitary wave solutions and their evolution in time is investigated numerically by Fourier spectral method. The efficiency of the numerical methods is tested and the relation between nonlinearity and fractional dispersion is observed by various numerical experiments.

In this article, we propose a Fourier pseudospectral method for solving the generalized improved Boussinesq equation. We prove the convergence of the semi-discrete scheme in the energy space. For various power nonlinearities, we consider three test problems concerning the propagation of a single solitary wave, the interaction of two solitary waves and a solution that blows up in finite time. We compare our numerical results with those given in the literature in terms of numerical accuracy. The numerical comparisons show that the Fourier pseudospectral method provides highly accurate results.to describe a large number of nonlinear dispersive wave phenomena, such as propagation of long waves on the surface of shallow water in both directions, propagation of long waves in one dimensional nonlinear lattices and propagation of ion-sound waves in a uniform isotropic plasma [3]. Here, the independent variables x and t denote spatial coordinate and time, respectively, and the parameter α = ±1. In the case of α = −1, (1.1) is called as the good Boussinesq equation; whereas in the case of α = 1, it is known as the bad Boussinesq equation. In [4], Bogolubsky showed that the bad Boussinesq equation is unstable under short wave perturbation and then he

The existence, uniqueness, and stability of periodic traveling waves for the fractional Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation is considered. In our approach, we give sufficient conditions to prove a uniqueness result for the single-lobe solution obtained by a constrained minimization problem. The spectral stability is then shown by determining that the associated linearized operator around the wave restricted to the orthogonal of the tangent space related to the momentum and mass at the periodic wave has no negative eigenvalues. We propose the Petviashvili's method to investigate the spectral stability of the periodic waves for the fractional Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation, numerically. Some remarks concerning the orbital stability of periodic traveling waves are also presented.
