Rigorous numerical investigation of chaos and stability of periodic orbits in the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky PDE
Seminar presented by Daniel Wilczak (Jagiellonian University, Poland)
We give a computer-assisted proof of the existence of symbolic dynamics for a certain Poincaré map in the one-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky PDE. In particular, we show the existence of infinitely many (countably) periodic orbits (POs) of arbitrary large principal periods. We provide also a study of the stability type of some POs and show the existence of a countable infinity of geometrically different homoclinic orbits to a periodic solution. The proof utilizes pure topological results (variant of the method of covering relations on compact absolute neighbourhood retracts) with rigorous integration of the PDE and the associated variational equation. This talk is based on the recent results [1,2].
