The dispersion relation has two additional arguments with the same value. Indeed,
Thus use the cubic Stokes dispersion symmetry
Both roots are in the lower half-plane for . At , , their imaginary parts are . A root cannot cross the real axis in , since a real root would make . Continuity therefore proves the claim throughout this connected domain. The branch points are outside ; interchanging the two root labels does not change the formula below.
Evaluate the global relation at each , where its analyticity requirement holds:
The left side is linear in . Interpolate it to the argument with weights
They satisfy and . Hence
For the last coefficient, use
adding and subtracting the interpolated gives .
The remaining solution-transform contribution is . Its integrand is holomorphic in : the transformed arguments remain in the lower half-plane. The weights are bounded at infinity, and supplies decay on the upper closing arc for . The Cauchy integral theorem therefore makes this integral zero. Put
The Dirichlet spectral representation for the linear dispersive Stokes equation is now
All quantities in this expression are transforms of the prescribed initial and boundary values. Neither derivative trace remains.
