Lattice Boltzmann method for the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

In this paper, a lattice Boltzmann model with an amending function is proposed for the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation that has the form u_t+uu_x+αu_xx+βu_xxx+γu_xxxx=0. With the Chapman-Enskog expansion, the governing evolution equation is recovered correctly from the continuous Boltzmann equation. It is found that the numerical results agree well with the analytical solutions.     

Radial asymptotically periodic solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

New type of heteroclinic tangency in two-dimensional maps

A new mechanism of heteroclinic tangency is investigated by using two-dimensional maps. First, it is numerically shown that the unstable manifold from a hyperbolic fixed point accumulates to the stable manifold of a nearby period-2 hyperbolic point in a piecewise linear map and that the unstable manifold from a hyperbolic fixed point accumulates to the accumulation of the stable manifold of a nearby period-2 hyperbolic point in a cubic map. Second, a theorem on the impossibility of heteroclinic tangency (in the usual sense) is given for a particular type of map. The notions ofdirect andasymptotic heteroclinic tangencies are introduced and heteroclinic tangency is classified into four types.

Global aspects of turbulence induced by heteroclinic cycles in competitive diffusion Lotka-Volterra equation

This paper presents detailed numerical results of the competitive diffusion Lotka-Volterra equation (May-Leonard type). First, we derive the global phase diagrams of attractors in the parameter space including the system size, where transition lines between simple attractors are clearly obtained in accordance with the results of linear stability analysis, but the transition borders become complex when multi-basin structures appear. The complex aspects of the transition borders are studied in the case when the system size decreases. Next, we show the statistical aspects of the turbulence with special attention to the onset of the supercritical Hopf bifurcation. Several characteristic quantities, such as correlation length, correlation time, Lyapunov spectra and Lyapunov dimension, are investigated in detail near the onset of turbulence. Our data show the critical scaling law near the onset only in the restricted parameter domain. However even when the critical indices are not determined accurately, it is shown that the empirical scaling relations are obtained in a wide parameter domain far from the onset point and those scaling indices satisfy several relations. These scaling relations are discussed in comparison with the result derived by the phase reduction method. Lastly, we make a conjecture about the stability of an ecosystem based on the bifurcation diagram: the ecosystem obeying the Lotka-Volterra equation in the case of May-Leonard type is stabilized more as the system size increases.     

Hopping behavior in the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

We report the first observations of numerical "hopping" cellular flame patterns found in computer simulations of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Hopping states are characterized by nonuniform rotations of a ring of cells, in which individual cells make abrupt changes in their angular positions while they rotate around the ring. Until now, these states have been observed only in experiments but not in truly two-dimensional computer simulations. A modal decomposition analysis of the simulated patterns, via the proper orthogonal decomposition, reveals spatio-temporal behavior in which the overall temporal dynamics is similar to that of equivalent experimental states but the spatial dynamics exhibits a few more features that are not seen in the experiments. Similarities in the temporal behavior and subtle differences in the spatial dynamics between numerical hopping states and their experimental counterparts are discussed in more detail.     

Steady solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

Steady solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation are studied. These solutions are defined on the whole x line and propagate with a constant speed c² in time. For large c² it is shown that the solution is unique and has a conical form. For small c² there is a periodic solution and an infinite set of quasi-periodic solutions as asserted by Moser's twist map theorem. Numerical computations for intermediate values of c² suggest that below c ≈ 1.6 of every speed there is a continuum of odd quasi-periodic solutions or a Cantor set of chaotic solutions wrapped by infinite sequences of conic solutions.     

Symmetry Reduction of Two-Dimensional Damped Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation

In this paper, the problem of determining the largest possible set of symmetries for an important nonlinear dynamical system: the two-dimensional damped Kuramoto-Sivashinsky ((2D) DKS ) equation is studied. By applying the basic Lie symmetry method for the (2D) DKS equation, the classical Lie point symmetry operators are obtained. Also, the optimal system of one-dimensional subalgebras of the equation is constructed. The Lie invariants as well as similarity reduced equations corresponding to infinitesimal symmetries are obtained. The nonclassical symmetries of the (2D) DKS equation are also investigated.

Approximate Symmetries and Infinite Series Symmetry Reduction Solutions to Perturbed Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equation

Starting from Lie symmetry theory and combining with the approximate symmetry method, and using the package LieSYMGRP proposed by us, we restudy the perturbed Kuramoto-Sivashinsky （KS） equation. The approximate symmetry reduction and the infinite series symmetry reduction solutions of the perturbed KS equation are constructed. Specially, if selecting the tanh-type travelling wave solution as initial approximate, we not only obtain the general formula of the physical approximate similarity solutions, but also obtain several new explicit solutions of the given equation, which are first reported here.

The construction of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbitals in asymmetric strongly nonlinear systems based on the Pad'e approximant

In this paper, the extended Pad'e approximant is used to construct the homoclinic and the heteroclinic trajectories in nonlinear dynamical systems that are asymmetric at origin. Meanwhile, the conservative system, the autonomous system, and the nonautonomous system equations with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities are considered. The disturbance parameter varepsilon is not limited to being small. The ranges of the values of the linear and the nonlinear term parameters, which are variables, can be determined when the boundary values are satisfied. New conditions for the potentiality and the convergence are posed to make it possible to solve the boundary-value problems formulated for the orbitals and to evaluate the initial amplitude values.     

Scale and space localization in the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

We describe a wavelet-based approach to the investigation of spatiotemporally complex dynamics, and show through extensive numerical studies that the dynamics of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation in the spatiotemporally chaotic regime may be understood in terms of localized dynamics in both space and scale (wave number). A projection onto a spline wavelet basis enables good separation of scales, each with characteristic dynamics. At the large scales, one observes essentially slow Gaussian dynamics; at the active scales, structured "events" reminiscent of traveling waves and heteroclinic cycles appear to dominate; while the strongly damped small scales display intermittent behavior. The separation of scales and their dynamics is invariant as the length of the system increases, providing additional support for the extensivity of the spatiotemporally complex dynamics claimed in earlier works. We show also that the dynamics are spatially localized, discuss various correlation lengths, and demonstrate the existence of a characteristic interaction length for instantaneous influences. Our results motivate and advance the search for localized, low-dimensional models that capture the full behavior of spatially extended chaotic partial differential equations.

A global attracting set for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

New bounds are given for the L²-norm of the solution of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation $$\partial _t U(x,t) = - (\partial _x^2 + \partial _x^4 )U(x,t) - U(x,t)\partial _x U(x,t)$$ , for initial data which are periodic with periodL. There is no requirement on the antisymmetry of the initial data. The result is $$\mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{t \to \infty } \left\| {U( \cdot ,t)} \right\|_2 \leqslant const. L^{8/5} $$ .     

Analysis of chaotic saddles in high-dimensional dynamical systems: the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

This paper presents a methodology to study the role played by nonattracting chaotic sets called chaotic saddles in chaotic transitions of high-dimensional dynamical systems. Our methodology is applied to the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, a reaction-diffusion partial differential equation. The paper describes a novel technique that uses the stable manifold of a chaotic saddle to characterize the homoclinic tangency responsible for an interior crisis, a chaotic transition that results in the enlargement of a chaotic attractor. The numerical techniques explained here are important to improve the understanding of the connection between low-dimensional chaotic systems and spatiotemporal systems which exhibit temporal chaos and spatial coherence.
