This article addresses sampled-data control of 2-D Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation over a rectangular domain $\Omega$ . We suggest to divide the into notation="LaTeX">$N$ subdomains, where sensors provide spati...

This paper presents a control problem for a one-dimensional nonlinear parabolic system, which consists of a Kuramoto–Sivashinsky–Korteweg de Vries equation coupled to a heat equation. We address the problem of controllability by means of a control supported in an interior open subset of the domain and acting on one equation only. The local null-controllability of the system is proved. The proof...

We study the effect of a higher-order nonlinearity in the standard Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation: partial differentialxG(Hx). We find that the stability of steady states depends on dv/dq , the derivative of the interface velocity on the wave vector q of the steady state. If the standard nonlinearity vanishes, coarsening is possible, in principle, only if G is an odd function of Hx. In this case...

The Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with Ehrilch-Schwoebel effects models the evolution of surface morphology during Molecular Beam Epitaxy growth, provoked by an interplay between deposition atoms onto and relaxation profile through diffusion. It consists a nonlinear fourth order partial differential equation. Using energy methods we prove well-posedness (i.e., existence, uniqueness stability re...

Abstract The Kuramto–Sivashinsky equation with anisotropy effects models the spinodal decomposition of phase separating systems in an external field, spatiotemporal evolution morphology steps on crystal surfaces and growth thermodynamically unstable strongly anisotropic surface tension. Written terms step slope, it can be represented a form similar to convective Cahn–Hilliard equation. In this ...

We investigate the bifurcation structure of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using hidden symmetry principles, based on an extended problem with periodic boundary conditions and O(2) symmetry, we show that the zero solution exhibits two kinds of pitchfork bifurcations: one that breaks the reflection symmetry of the system with Dirichlet boundary ...

Consider the effect of pure additive noise on the long-time dynamics of the noisy Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation close to the instability onset. When the noise acts only on the first stable mode (highly degenerate), the KS solution undergoes several state transitions, including critical on-off intermittency and stabilized states, as the noise strength increases. Similar results are obtained...

This work focuses on control of surface roughness in sputtering processes including two surface micro-processes, diffusion and erosion. The fluctuation of surface height of such sputtering processes can be described by the stochastic Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation (KSE), a fourth-order stochastic partial differential equation (PDE). Specifically, we consider sputtering processes, including surfa...

Surfaces eroded by ion sputtering are sometimes observed to develop morphologies which are either ripple (periodic) or rough (nonperiodic). We introduce a discrete stochastic model that allows us to interpret these experimental observations within a unified framework. We find that a periodic ripple morphology characterizes the initial stages of the evolution, whereas the surface displays self-a...
