Bifurcation behaviors of steady-state solution to a discrete general Brusselator model (Q2188002)

Summary: We study the local and global bifurcation of nonnegative nonconstant solutions of a discrete general Brusselator model. We generalize the linear \(u\) in the standard Brusselator model to the nonlinear \(f\left( u\right)\). Assume that \(f\in C\left( \left[ 0, \infty\right), \left[ 0, \infty\right)\right)\) is a strictly increasing function, and \(f^\prime\left( f^{- 1} \left( a\right)\right)\in\left( 0, \infty\right)\). Taking \(b\) as the bifurcation parameter, we obtain that the solution set of the problem constitutes a constant solution curve and a nonconstant solution curve in a small neighborhood of the bifurcation point \(\left( b_0^j, f^{- 1} \left( a\right), a b / \left[ f^{- 1} \left( a\right)\right]^2\right)\). Moreover, via the Rabinowitz bifurcation theorem, we obtain the global structure of the set of nonconstant solutions under the condition that \(f\left( s\right)/ s^2\) is nonincreasing in \(\left( 0, \infty\right)\). In this process, we also make a priori estimation for the nonnegative nonconstant solutions of the problem.
