We investigate the dynamical spin and charge structure factors of the -- four-leg ladder by using dynamical density-matrix renormalization group. The dynamical charge structure factor along the momentum direction from to clearly shows low-energy excitations corresponding to the stripe order in hole doping. On the other hand, the stripe order weakens in electron doping, resulting in less low-energy excitations in the charge channel. In spin channel, we find incommensurate spin excitations near forming a hour-glass behavior in hole doping, while in electron doping we find clearly spin-wave-like dispersions starting from . Along the - direction, the spin excitations are strongly influenced by the stripes in hole doping, resulting in two branches that form a discontinuous behavior in the dispersion. In contrast, the electron-doped systems show a downward shift in energy toward .
