In this paper, we are concerned with a one-parameter family of peakon equations with cubic nonlinearity parametrized by a parameter usually denoted by the letter b. This family is called the " b -Novikov" since it reduces to the integrable Novikov equation in the case b = 3. By extending the corresponding linearized operator defined on functions in H 1 (R) to one defined on weaker functions on L 2 (R) , we prove spectral and linear instability on L 2 (R) of peakons in the b -Novikov equations for any b. We also consider the stability on H 1 (R) and show that the peakons are spectrally or linearly stable only in the case b = 3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
