A VARIATIONAL METHOD TO STUDY THE ZAKHAROV EQUATION ARUN KUMAR Received 7 February 2005 and in revised form 4 August 2005 A variational method given by Ritz has been applied to the Zakharov equation to con- struct an analytical solution. The solution of Zakharov equation gives a good description of both linear and nonlinear evolutions of instabilities generated in waves due to modu- lation. The spatially periodic trial function is chosen in the form of combination of Ja- cobian elliptic functions with the dependence of its parameters subject to optimization.
