Global existence for long wave Hopf unstable spatially extended systems with a conservation law

Nicole Gauss, Anna Logioti, Guido Schneider, Dominik Zimmermann

Abstract

We are interested in reaction-diffusion systems, with a conservation law, exhibiting a Hopf bifurcation at the spatial wave number $k = 0$. With the help of a multiple scaling perturbation ansatz a Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled to a scalar conservation law can be derived as an amplitude system for the approximate description of the dynamics of the original reaction-diffusion system near the first instability. We use the amplitude system to show the global existence of all solutions starting in a small neighborhood of the weakly unstable ground state for original systems posed on a large spatial interval with periodic boundary conditions.

Key Result

Theorem 1.2

Consider the amplitude system as1intro-as2intro with periodic boundary conditions ABper and assume that the coefficients $a_0 ,\ldots , b_1$ satisfy the condition (Coeff). Then for all $s \geq 0$ there exists a $C_R > 0$ such that for all $C_1 > 0$ there exists a $T_0 > 0$ such that to a given init
