This work investigates the existence and bifurcation structure of multi-pulse steady-state solutions to bistable lattice dynamical systems. Such solutions are characterized by multiple compact disconnected regions where the solution resembles one of the bistable states and resembles another trivial bistable state outside of these compact sets. It is shown that the bifurcation curves of these multi-pulse solutions lie along closed and bounded curves (isolas), even when single-pulse solutions lie along unbounded curves. These results are applied to a discrete Nagumo differential equation and we show that the hypotheses of this work can be confirmed analytically near the anti-continuum limit. Results are demonstrated with a number of numerical investigations.

Henon Mapping

Real cellular automata (RCA) are time-discrete dynamical systems on ℝN. Like cellular automata they can be obtained from discretizing partial differential equations. Due to their structure RCA are ideally suited to implementation on parallel computers with a large number of processors. In a way similar to the Hénon mapping, the system we consider here embeds the logistic mapping in a system on ℝN, N>1. But in contrast to the Hénon system an RCA in general is not invertible. We present some results about the bifurcation structure of such systems, mostly restricting ourselves, due to the complexity of the problem, to the two-dimensional case. Among others we observe cascades of cusp bifurcations forming generalized crossroad areas and crossroad areas with the flip curves replaced by Hopf bifurcation curves.

AbstractA method of sequential eigenfunction expansion is developed for a semi-linear parabolic equation. It allows the time-dependent coefficients of the eigenfunctions to be determined sequentially and iterated to reach convergence. At any stage, only a single ordinary differential equation needs to be considered, in contrast to the Galerkin method which requires the consideration of a system of equations. The method is applied to a central problemin combustion theory to provide a definitive answer to the question of the influence of the initial data in determining whether the solution is sub- or super-critical, in the case of multiple steady-state solutions. It is expected this method will prove useful in dealing with similar problems.

Long Term Behavior

This paper is devoted to the long-term behavior of nonautonomous random lattice dynamical systems with nonlinear diffusion terms. The nonlinear drift and diffusion terms are not expected to be Lipschitz continuous but satisfy the continuity and growth conditions. We first prove the existence of solutions, and establish the existence of a multi-valued nonautonomous cocycle. We then show the existence and uniqueness of pullback attractors parameterized by sample parameters. Finally, we establish the measurability of this pullback attractor by the method based on the weak upper semicontinuity of the solutions.

Linear Damping

Wilms (1995) has considered the plane motion of three lineal rigid bodies subject to linear damping over their length. He shows that these plane single-degree-of-freedom systems are governed by precisely the same fundamental differential equation. It is not unusual that several dynamical systems may be formally characterized by the same differential equation, but the universal differential equation for these systems is unusual because it is exactly the same equation for the three very different systems. It is shown here that these problems belong to a more general class of problems for which the differential equation is exactly the same for every lineal rigid body regardless of its geometry.
