We study the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation (KSE) in scalar form on two-dimensional torus with and without advection by an incompressible vector field. prove local existence of mild solutions for arbitrary data L2. then issue global existence. KSE presence data, provided advecting velocity field v satisfies certain conditions that ensure dissipation time associated hyperdiffusion-advection is su...

The problem of constructing data-based, predictive, reduced models for the KuramotoSivashinsky equation is considered, under circumstances where one has observation data only for a small subset of the dynamical variables. Accurate prediction is achieved by developing a discrete-time stochastic reduced system, based on a NARMAX (Nonlinear Autoregressive Moving Average with eXogenous input) repre...

We determine all cases when there exists a meromorphic solution of the ODE νw + bw + μw + w/2 +A = 0. This equation describes traveling waves solutions of the KuramotoSivashinsky equation. It turns out that there are no other meromorphic solutions besides those explicit solutions found by Kuramoto and Kudryashov. The general method used in this paper, based on Nevanlinna theory, is applicable t...

We study the emergence of pattern formation and chaotic dynamics in the one-dimensional (1D) generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (gKS) equation by means of a time-series analysis, in particular a nonlinear forecasting method which is based on concepts from chaos theory and appropriate statistical methods. We analyze two types of temporal signals, a local one and a global one, finding in both cases...

Recent work on the dynamics of a crystal surface [T. Frisch and A. Verga, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 166104 (2006)] has focused the attention on the conserved KuramotoSivashinsky (CKS) equation: ∂tu = −∂xx(u+ uxx + ux), which displays coarsening. For a quantitative and qualitative understanding of the dynamics, the analysis of steady states is particularly relevant. In this paper we provide a detaile...

We present a new topological method for the study of the dynamics of dissipative PDE’s. The method is based on the concept of the selfconsistent apriori bounds, which allows to justify rigorously the Galerkin projection. As a result we obtain a low-dimensional system of ODE’s subject to rigorously controlled small perturbation from the neglected modes. To this ODE’s we apply the Conley index to...

Sivashinsky's [Acta Astron. 4, 1177 (1977)] nonlinear integrodifferential equation for the shape of corrugated one-dimensional flames is ultimately reducible to a 2N -body problem, involving the 2N complex poles of the flame slope. Thual, Frisch, and Hénon [J. Phys. (France) 46, 1485 (1985)] derived singular linear integral equations for the pole density in the limit of large steady wrinkles (N...

We derive a priori estimates on the absorbing ball in L2 for the stabilized and destabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equations, and for a sixth-order analog, the Nikolaevskiy equation, and in each case obtain bounds whose parameter dependence is demonstrably optimal. This is done by extending a Lyapunov function construction developed by Bronski and Gambill (Nonlinearity 19, 2023–2039 (2006))...

We present a computational study of a simple finite-dimensional feedback control algorithm for stabilizing solutions of infinite-dimensional dissipative evolution equations such as reaction-diffusion systems, the Navier-Stokes equations and the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. This feedback control scheme takes advantage of the fact that such systems possess finite number of determining parameter...
