Traveling-wave solutions of convection-diffusion systems by center manifold reduction (Q1348729): Difference between revisions

Consider the convection-diffusion system \((*) \;u_t + A(u)u_x = (B(u) u_x)_{x}\) for \(u \in \mathbb{R}^n\), \(x \in \mathbb{R}\), \(A\) and \(C\) are \(C^2\) matrix-valued functions. This problem has been treated successfully by \textit{L. Sainsaulieu} [SIAM J. Math. Anal. 27, 1286--1310 (1996; Zbl 0861.35040)]. The author applies center-manifold theory to get a greater simplicity and geometric insight. In general, he supposes that \(A(u)\) is strictly hyperbolic and \(B(u)\) is invertible. Several special cases are treated. A very nice paper to remember!
