| contents | We prove variational instability for small-amplitude solutions to the periodic irrotational gravity water wave problem in finite depth. Our results are based on a reformation of the water wave problem as a pseudo-differential Euler-Lagrange equation together with the local existence theory of small-amplitude waves. We use a perturbative spectral analysis of the second-variation operator in combination with a Plotnikov transformation to show instability for non-trivial solutions. |
