An infinite-dimensional Morse-Smale map (Q1346272)

A semi-implicit discretization on time of the one-dimensional parabolic equation \(u_ t= u_{xx}+ f(u(x))\), \((x, t)\in (0, 1)\times \mathbb{R}^ +\), with Dirichlet boundary conditions, give rise to an infinite- dimensional map \(\Phi_ h(u)\): starting from \[ {u_{n+ 1}- u_ n\over h}= \Delta u_{n+ 1}+ f(u_ n),\quad \Delta= d^ 2/dx^ 2,\;h> 0 \] The authors define a discrete flow on the Hilbert space \(H^ 1_ 0(0, 1)\), given by \(\Phi_ h(u)= (I- h\Delta)^{- 1}(u+ hf\cdot u)\). For the dynamics of \(\Phi_ h\), the authors prove that the corresponding flow has gradient structure, compact attractor, lap number and Morse-Smale properties and structural stability with respect to the attractor.
