Abstract
The evolution equations are obtained which govern the growth of cross-waves generated in a long deep channel by a wavemaker with small amplitude when the waves are modified by finite-amplitude effects. The linearized equations are compared with previous theoretical and experimental work. Some numerical solutions are obtained for illustration.Keywords
