Evans function and blow-up methods in critical eigenvalue problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contact defects are one of several types of defects that arise generically in oscillatory media modelled by reaction-diffusion systems. An interesting property of these defects is that the asymptotic spatial wavenumber is approached only with algebraic order O(1/x) (the associated phase diverges logarithmically). The essential spectrum of the PDE linearization about a contact defect always has a branch point at the origin. We show that the Evans function can be extended across this branch point and discuss the smoothness properties of the extension. The construction utilizes blow-up techniques and is quite general in nature. We also comment on known relations between roots of the Evans function and the temporal asymptotics of Green’s functions, and discuss applications to algebraically decaying solitons.

BLOW-UP AND NONGLOBAL SOLUTION FOR A FAMILY OF NONLINEAR HIGHER-ORDER EVOLUTION PROBLEM
In this paper we consider a kind of higher-order evolution equation as^{kt^{k} + ^{k&minus1}u/t^{k&minus1} +• • •+ut &minus{delta}u= f (u, {delta}u,x). For this equation, we investigate nonglobal solution, blow-up in finite time and instantaneous blow-up under some assumption on k, f and initial data. In this paper we employ the Test function method, the eneralized convexity method an...
متن کاملA note on critical point and blow-up rates for singular and degenerate parabolic equations
In this paper, we consider singular and degenerate parabolic equations$$u_t =(x^alpha u_x)_x +u^m (x_0,t)v^{n} (x_0,t),quadv_t =(x^beta v_x)_x +u^q (x_0,t)v^{p} (x_0,t),$$ in $(0,a)times (0,T)$, subject to nullDirichlet boundary conditions, where $m,n, p,qge 0$, $alpha, betain [0,2)$ and $x_0in (0,a)$. The optimal classification of non-simultaneous and simultaneous blow-up solutions is determin...
متن کاملA note on blow-up in parabolic equations with local and localized sources
This note deals with the systems of parabolic equations with local and localized sources involving $n$ components. We obtained the exponent regions, where $kin {1,2,cdots,n}$ components may blow up simultaneously while the other $(n-k)$ ones still remain bounded under suitable initial data. It is proved that different initial data can lead to different blow-up phenomena even in the same ...
متن کاملThe Evans Function and the Weyl-titchmarsh Function
We describe relations between the Evans function, a modern tool in the study of stability of traveling waves and other patterns for PDEs, and the classical Weyl-Titchmarsh function for singular Sturm-Liouville differential expressions and for matrix Hamiltonian systems. Also, we discuss a related issue of approximating eigenvalue problems on the whole line by that on finite segments.
متن کاملBlow-up and global asymptotics of the limit unstable Cahn-Hilliard equation
We study the asymptotic behaviour of classes of global and blow-up solutions of a semilinear parabolic equation of Cahn-Hilliard type ut = −∆(∆u + |u|u) in R ×R+, p > 1, with bounded integrable initial data. We show that in some {p, N}-parameter ranges it admits a countable set of blow-up similarity patterns. The most interesting set of blow-up solutions is constructed at the first critical exp...
