This paper presents a control problem for a one-dimensional nonlinear parabolic system, which consists of a Kuramoto–Sivashinsky–Korteweg de Vries equation coupled to a heat equation. We address the problem of controllability by means of a control supported in an interior open subset of the domain and acting on one equation only. The local null-controllability of the system is proved. The proof...

The problem of wave-number selections in nonequilibrium pattern-forming systems in the presence of noise is investigated. The minimum-action method is proposed to study the noise-induced transitions between the different spatiotemporal states by generalizing the traditional theory previously applied in low-dimensional dynamical systems. The scheme is shown as an example in the stabilized Kuramo...

This paper is devoted to the study of the local rapid exponential stabilization problem for a controlled Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation on a bounded interval. We build a feedback control law to force the solution of the closed-loop system to decay exponentially to zero with arbitrarily prescribed decay rates, provided that the initial datum is small enough. Our approach uses a method we introduc...

Consider the effect of pure additive noise on the long-time dynamics of the noisy Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation close to the instability onset. When the noise acts only on the first stable mode (highly degenerate), the KS solution undergoes several state transitions, including critical on-off intermittency and stabilized states, as the noise strength increases. Similar results are obtained...
