We consider the Stokes conjecture concerning the shape of extreme 2-dimensional water waves. By new geometric methods including a non-linear frequency formula, we prove the Stokes conjecture in the original variables. Our results do not rely on structural assumptions needed in previous results such as isolated singularities, symmetry and monotonicity. Part of our results extends to the mathematical problem in higher dimensions.

In this paper, we develop the Hamiltonian conservative and L2 conservative local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) schemes for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) type equations with the minimal stencil. For the time discretization, we adopt the semi- implicit spectral deferred correction (SDC) method to achieve the high order accuracy and efficiency. Also we compare the schemes with the dissipative LDG scheme. Stabil- ity of the fully discrete schemes is provided by Fourier analysis for the linearized KdV equation. Numerical examples are shown to illustrate the capability of these schemes. Compared with the dissipative LDG scheme, the numerical simulations also indicate that the conservative LDG scheme with high order time discretization can reduce the long time phase error validly.
