provides us more in<strong>for</strong>mation about stability via (1.10). For <strong>the</strong> CH equation,<br />

even if <strong>the</strong> orbital stability is proved by a simpler construction [11], our approach<br />

can also give <strong>the</strong> additional stability in<strong>for</strong>mation. More specifically, <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> CH<br />

equation (1.3) with y 0 ≥ 0, by refining <strong>the</strong> integrals <strong>of</strong> [11, Lemma 2] to each<br />

monotonic interval <strong>of</strong> u, one can obtain<br />

F 3 (u) − 4 3 B3 n ≤ M 1<br />

(<br />

F2 (u) − 2A 2 n)<br />

,<br />

where F 2 and F 3 are defined in (1.7), and A n and B n in (3.12) with M i and m i<br />

being <strong>the</strong> maxima and minima <strong>of</strong> u, respectively. Hence, estimate (1.10) may<br />

be obtained by following <strong>the</strong> pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> Lemma 3.6.<br />
