Asymptotic models of internal stationary waves

Equations of stationary long waves on the interface between a homogeneous fluid and an exponentially stratified fluid are considered. An equation of the second-order approximation of the shallow water theory inheriting the dispersion properties of the full Euler equations is used as the basic model. A family of asymptotic submodels is constructed, which describe three different types of bifurcation of solitary waves at the boundary points of the continuous spectrum of the linearized problem.
