Convergence towards attractors for a degenerate Ginzburg-Landau equation

We study a real Ginzburg-Landau equation, in a bounded domain of with a variable, generally non-smooth diffusion coefficient having a finite number of zeroes. By using the compactness of the embeddings of the weighted Sobolev spaces involved in the functional formulation of the problem, and the associated energy equation, we show the existence of a global attractor. The extension of the main result in the case of an unbounded domain is also discussed, where in addition, the diffusion coefficient has to be unbounded. Some remarks for the case of a complex Ginzburg-Landau equation are given.Received: May 6, 2002; revised: October 3, 2002     

On the nonlinear stability of plane waves for the ginzburg-landau equation

I consider the nonlinear stability of plane wave solutions to a Ginzburg-Landau equation with additional fifth-order terms and cubic terms containing spatial derivatives. I show that, under the constraint that the diffusion coefficient be real, these waves are stable. Furthermore, it is shown that the radial component of the perturbation decays at a faster rate than the phase component of the perturbation as t → ∞. The result is also applicable to the classical Ginzburg-Landau equation. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Insensitizing controls for a nonlinear parabolic equation with a nonlinear term involving the state and the gradient in unbounded domains

In this paper, we consider the existence of insensitizing control for a semilinear heat equation involving gradient terms in unbounded domain Ω. In this case, we prove the existence of controls insensitizing the L²-norm of the observation of the solution in an open subset of the domain. The proofs of the main results in this paper involve such inequalities and rely on the study of these linear problems and appropriate fixed point arguments.     

On the dynamics of a degenerate parabolic equation: global bifurcation of stationary states and convergence

We study the dynamics of a degenerate parabolic equation with a variable, generally non-smooth diffusion coefficient, which may vanish at some points or be unbounded. We show the existence of a global branch of nonnegative stationary states, covering both the cases of a bounded and an unbounded domain. The global bifurcation of stationary states, implies-in conjuction with the definition of a gradient dynamical system in the natural phase space-that at least in the case of a bounded domain, any solution with nonnegative initial data tends to the trivial or the nonnegative equilibrium. Applications of the global bifurcation result to general degenerate semilinear as well as to quasilinear elliptic equations, are also discussed.

Hyperbolic Equations with Growing Coefficients in Unbounded Domains

Let Ω ? ? ⁿ , n?≥?2, be an unbounded domain with a smooth (possibly noncompact) star-shaped boundary Γ. For the first mixed problem for a hyperbolic equation with an unbounded coefficient with power growth at infinity, the large-time behavior of the solutions is studied. Estimates for the resolvent of the spectral problem are obtained for various values of the parameters.     

The mountain pass method in the problem on a nontrivial solution of a quasilinear equation with a parameter in ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis></Superscript>

In the present paper, we consider a quasilinear elliptic equation in ℝ ^N with a parameter whose values lie in a neighborhood of an eigenvalue of the linear problem. To prove the existence of a nontrivial solution, we use a modification of the conditional mountain pass method. The difficulties related to the lack of compactness of the Sobolev operator in the case of an unbounded domain are eliminated with the use of the Lions concentration-compactness method.     

Attractors of derivative complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in unbounded domains

The Ginzburg-Landau-type complex equations are simplified mathematical models for various pattern formation systems in mechanics, physics, and chemistry. In this paper, the derivative complex Ginzburg-Landau (DCGL) equation in an unbounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝ² is studied. We extend the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality to the weighted Sobolev spaces introduced by S. V. Zelik. Applied this Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality of the weighted Sobolev spaces and based on the technique for the semi-linear system of parabolic equations which has been developed by M. A. Efendiev and S. V. Zelik, the global attractor in the corresponding phase space is constructed, the upper bound of its Kolmogorov’s ɛ-entropy is obtained, and the spatial chaos of the attractor for DCGL equation in ℝ² is detailed studied.      

Hopf Bifurcation in Spatially Extended Reaction—Diffusion Systems

Summary. We consider weakly unstable reaction—diffusion systems defined on domains with one or more unbounded space-directions. In the systems which we have in mind, at criticality, the most unstable eigenvalue belongs to the wave vector zero and possesses a nonvanishing imaginary part. This instability leads to an almost spatially homogeneous Hopf-bifurcation in time. A standard example is the Brusselator in certain parameter ranges. Using multiple scaling analysis we derive a Ginzburg-Landau equation and show that all small solutions develop in such a way that they can be approximated after a certain time by the solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equation. The proof differs essentially from the case when the bifurcating pattern is oscillatory in space. Our proof is based on normal form methods. As a consequence of the results, the global existence in time of all small bifurcating solutions and the upper-semicontinuity of the original system attractor towards the associated Ginzburg-Landau attractor follows.

Multiplicity results for the two-vortex Chern-Simons Higgs model on the two-sphere

We consider a Ginzburg-Landau type functional on S ² with a 6 ^th order potential and the corresponding selfduality equations. We study the limiting behavior in the two vortex case when a coupling parameter tends to zero. This two vortex case is a limiting case for the Moser inequality, and we correspondingly detect a rich and varied asymptotic behavior depending on the position of the vortices. We exploit analogies with the Nirenberg problem for the prescribed Gauss curvature equation on S ². Received: December 3, 1997     

The hydrodynamic limit for a system with interactions prescribed by Ginzburg-Landau type random Hamiltonian

Summary As a microscopic model we consider a system of interacting continuum like spin field overR ^d . Its evolution law is determined by the Ginzburg-Landau type random Hamiltonian and the total spin of the system is preserved by this evolution. We show that the spin field converges, under the hydrodynamic space-time scalling, to a deterministic limit which is a solution of a certain nonlinear diffusion equation. This equation describes the time evolution of the macroscopic field. The hydrodynamic scaling has an effect of the homogenization on the system at the same time.

Γ-Convergence of 2D Ginzburg-Landau functionals with vortex concentration along curves

We study the variational convergence of a family of twodimensional Ginzburg-Landau functionals arising in the study of superfluidity or thin-film superconductivity as the Ginzburg-Landau parameter ε tends to 0. In this regime and for large enough applied rotations (for superfluids) or magnetic fields (for superconductors), the minimizers acquire quantized point singularities (vortices). We focus on situations in which an unbounded number of vortices accumulate along a prescribed Jordan curve or a simple arc in the domain. This is known to occur in a circular annulus under uniform rotation, or in a simply connected domain with an appropriately chosen rotational vector field. We prove that if suitably normalized, the energy functionals Γ-converge to a classical energy from potential theory. Applied to global minimizers, our results describe the limiting distribution of vortices along the curve in terms of Green equilibrium measures.     

Boundary difference-integral equation method and its error estimates for second order hyperbolic partial differential equation

Finite element solutions for three‐dimensional elliptic boundary value problems on unbounded domains

The finite element (FE) solutions of a general elliptic equation ?div([a_ij] ??u) + u = f in an exterior domain Ω, which is the complement of a bounded subset of R ³, is considered. The most common approach to deal with exterior domain problems is truncating an unbounded subdomain Ω_∞, so that the remaining part Ω_B = Ω\Ω _∞ is bounded, and imposing an artificial boundary condition on the resulted artificial boundary Γ_a = Ω _∞ ∩ Ω _B. In this article, instead of discarding an unbounded subdomain Ω_∞ and introducing an artificial boundary condition, the unbounded domain is mapped to a unit ball by an auxiliary mapping. Then, a similar technique to the method of auxiliary mapping, introduced by Babu?ka and Oh for handling the domain singularities, is applied to obtain an accurate FE solution of this problem at low cost. This method thus does have neither artificial boundary nor any restrictions on f. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2006

Attractors for generalized Ginzburg-Landau-BBM equations in an unbounded domain

By the interpolation inequality and a priori estimates in the weighted space, the existence of global solutions for generalized Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled with BBM equation in an unbounded domain is considered, and the existence of the maximal attractor is obtained.

Asymptotic behavior for the filtration equation in domains with noncompact boundary

We consider the initial value boundary problem with zero Neumann data for an equation modeled after the porous media equation, with variable coefficients. The spatial domain is unbounded and shaped like a (general) paraboloid, and the solution u is integrable in space and nonnegative. We show that the asymptotic profile for large times of u is one dimensional and given by an explicit function, which can be regarded as the fundamental solution of a one-dimensional differential equation with weights. In the case when the domain is a cone or the whole space (Cauchy problem), we obtain a genuine multidimensional profile given by the well-known Barenblatt solution.     

Global attractor for the damped Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equations on R1

We utilize a new necessary and sufficient condition to verity the asymptotic compactness of an evolution equation defined in an unbounded domain, which involves the Littlewood–Paley projection operators. We then use this condition to prove the existence of an attractor for the damped Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation in the phase space H ¹(R ¹) by showing the solutions are point dissipative and asymptotically compact. Moreover the attractor is in fact smoother and it belongs to H ^3/2?? for every ?>0.
