In the fluid region , incompressibility and potential flow give
No penetration through the exact surface gives
The condition says the hill slope is small; says the disturbance velocity is small compared with the background wind. Dropping the product and Taylor-shifting the boundary from to therefore gives
The decaying solution is
Bernoulli's equation is
To first order on the surface,
Thus
Equivalently, crest minus trough is the negative of this. For , hydrostatic elevation dominates; for , the Bernoulli pressure drop caused by faster crest flow dominates.
Spatial Fourier transformation gives
Hence
Inverting and splitting the cosine into exponentials, or applying D'Alembert formula, yields
Thus the initial Gaussian separates into two half-amplitude Gaussian pulses travelling without distortion at speeds and .
The Euler--Lagrange equation is
Putting and simplifying gives
Since , , and , the transformed functional is
Its Euler--Lagrange equation is , exactly the preceding equation.
For endpoint-vanishing , the second variation is
Writing and using orthonormality gives
It is positive definite when and has a negative direction when . Therefore
A map is differentiable at if there is a linear map such that
then . The inverse function theorem says that if is continuously differentiable near and is invertible, then restricts to a diffeomorphism between neighborhoods of and .
Since is polynomial,
Thus , the space of skew-symmetric matrices.
Define
Then , so the inverse function theorem supplies open neighborhoods , on which is a diffeomorphism. Its symmetric part is and its skew part is . Consequently
and therefore .
For any , left multiplication is a homeomorphism preserving and carrying to . Transporting the preceding chart gives a neighborhood of in homeomorphic to an open subset of .
