Periodic and localized travelling waves such as wave trains, pulses, fronts and patterns of more complex structure often occur in natural and experimentally built systems. In mathematics, these objects are realized as solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. The existence, dynamic properties and bifurcations of those solutions are of interest. In particular, their stability is important for applications, as the waves that are observable are usually stable. When the waves are unstable, further investigation is warranted of the way the instability is exhibited, i.e. the nature of the instability, and also coherent structures that appear as a result of an instability of travelling waves. A variety of analytical, numerical and hybrid techniques are used to study travelling waves and their properties. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Stability of nonlinear waves and patterns and related topics’.

In this paper, a method developed by Whitham for obtaining equations governing the slow variation of finite-amplitude wave trains, is slightly modified. The relevant equations describing wave-wave interaction, and self-action are derived. The stability of a finite-amplitude wave train is treated in two different ways. The possibility of having a ‘solitary modulation’ on a finite-amplitude wave train is pointed out.
