Amplitude equation for lattice maps, a renormalization group approach (Q1284840)

The author considers the case of discrete time iteration of lattice systems. These are dynamical systems defined on the phase space \(l^\infty(\mathbb{Z}^d,\mathbb{R})\). The time evolution is given by a map \(F\) of \(l^\infty(\mathbb{Z},\mathbb{R})\) into itself. Under some natural conditions on \(F\), the author considers the development of instabilities of homogeneous stationary solutions of discrete-time lattice maps. Moreover, the author derives an amplitude equation which is the space-time-continuous Ginzburg-Landau equation. Using dynamical renormalization group methods, he controls the accuracy of this approximation in a large ball of its basin of attraction.
