Stability of multipeakons

The Camassa–Holm equation possesses well-known peaked solitary waves that are called peakons. Their orbital stability has been established by Constantin and Strauss in [A. Constantin, W. Strauss, Stability of peakons, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 53 (2000) 603–610]. We prove here the stability of ordered trains of peakons. We also establish a result on the stability of multipeakons.
