Abstract: | A reaction-diffusion equation related to some mathematical models of gasless combustion of solid fuel is studied. A formal bifurcation analysis by B. J. Matkowsky and G. I. Sivashinsky (SIAM J. Appl. Math.35 (1978), 465–478) shows that solutions demonstrate behavior typical for the Hopf bifurcation. A rigorous treatment of this phenomenon is developed. The problem is considered as an evolution equation in a Banach space. To circumvent difficulties involving a possible resonance with the continuous spectrum, appropriate weighted norms are introduced. A suitable version of the Hopf bifurcation theorem is developed and the existence of time periodic solutions is proved for values of the parameter near some critical value. |
