Motivated by the work of Foias and Temam [C. Foias, R. Temam, Gevrey class regularity for the solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations, J. Funct. Anal. 87 (1989) 359–369], we prove the existence and Gevrey regularity of local solutions to the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation in Rn with initial data in the space of distributions. The control on the Gevrey norm provides an explicit estimate of the a...

Spatiotemporally chaotic dynamics of a Kuramoto-Sivashinsky system is described by means of an innnite hierarchy of its unstable spatiotemporally periodic solutions. An intrinsic parametrization of the corresponding invariant set serves as accurate guide to the high-dimensional dynamics, and the periodic orbit theory yields several global averages characterizing the chaotic dynamics.

We introduce a new variational method for finding periodic orbits of flows and spatio-temporally periodic solutions of classical field theories, a generalization of the Newton method to a flow in the space of loops. The feasibility of the method is demonstrated by its application to several dynamical systems, including the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky system.

An investigation of interior crisis of high dimensions in an extended spatiotemporal system exemplified by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation is reported. It is shown that unstable periodic orbits and their associated invariant manifolds in the Poincaré hyperplane can effectively characterize the global bifurcation dynamics of high-dimensional systems.

We present a computer assisted proof of the existence of several attracting fixed points for the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation ut = (u )x − uxx − νuxxxx, u(x, t) = u(x+ 2π, t), u(x, t) = −u(−x, t), where ν > 0. The method is general and can be applied to other dissipative PDEs.

In this article we study the solution of the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation on a bounded interval subject to a random forcing term. We show that a unique solution to the equation exists for all time and depends continuously on the initial data.

The Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with fixed boundary conditions is numerically studied. Shocklike structures appear in the time-averaged patterns for some parameter range of the boundary values. Effective diffusion constant is estimated from the relation of the width and the height of the shock structures.
