contents The $b$-family of Camassa-Holm ($b$-CH) equation is a one-parameter family of PDEs, which includes the completely integrable Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations but possesses different Hamiltonian structures. Motivated by this, we study the existence and the orbital stability of the smooth solitary wave solutions with nonzero constant background to the $b$-CH equation for the special case $b=1$, whose the Hamiltonian structure is different from that of $b\neq1$. We establish a connection between the stability criterion for the solitary waves and the monotonicity of a singular integral along the corresponding homoclinic orbits of the spatial ODEs. We verify the latter analytically using the framework for the monotonicity of period function of planar Hamiltonian systems, which shows that the smooth solitary waves are orbitally stable. In addition, we find that the existence and orbital stability results for $0<b<1$ are similar to that of $b>1$, particularly the stability criteria are the same. Finally, combining with the results for the case $b>1$, we conclude that the solitary waves to the $b$-CH equation is structurally stable under the variation of %with respect to the parameter $b>0$.

The $b$-family of Camassa-Holm ($b$-CH) equation is a one-parameter family of PDEs, which includes the completely integrable Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations but possesses different Hamiltonian structures. Motivated by this, we study the existence and the orbital stability of the smooth solitary wave solutions with nonzero constant background to the $b$-CH equation for the special case $b=1$, whose the Hamiltonian structure is different from that of $b\neq1$. We establish a connection between the stability criterion for the solitary waves and the monotonicity of a singular integral along the corresponding homoclinic orbits of the spatial ODEs. We verify the latter analytically using the framework for the monotonicity of period function of planar Hamiltonian systems, which shows that the smooth solitary waves are orbitally stable. In addition, we find that the existence and orbital stability results for $0<b<1$ are similar to that of $b>1$, particularly the stability criteria are the same. Finally, combining with the results for the case $b>1$, we conclude that the solitary waves to the $b$-CH equation is structurally stable under the variation of %with respect to the parameter $b>0$.
