Abstract

The N-wave interaction (NWI) system appears as an amplitude system in the description of N nonlinearly interacting and linearly transported wave packets in dispersive wave systems such as the water wave problem or problems in nonlinear optics. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First we give a new simplified proof for the failure of the NWI approximation in case of resonances which are located at integer multiples of a basic wave number k(0) in the original 2 pi/k0-spatially periodic dispersive wave system. Secondly, we give a first rigorous proof that an amplitude system fails in the description of an original system, without imposing periodic boundary conditions on the original system.
