摘要

We investigate the existence of time-periodic vortex patch solutions, in both simply and doubly-connected cases, for the two-dimensional lake equation where the depth function of the lake is assumed to be non-degenerate and radial. The proofs employ bifurcation techniques, where the most challenging steps are related to the regularity study of some nonlinear functionals and the spectral analysis of their linearized operators around Rankine type vortices. The main difficulties stem from the roughness and the implicit form of the Green function connecting the fluid vorticity and its stream function. We handle in part these issues by exploring the asymptotic structure of the solutions to the associated elliptic problem. As to the distribution of the spectrum, it is tackled by a fixed-point argument through a perturbative approach.
