Infinitely spatially complex solutions of PDE and their homotopy complexity (Q5944145)

The authors consider parabolic two-component system \(\partial_t u= \partial^2_x u - F'(u)\) on the whole real \(x\)-axis. Here \(u=(u_1,u_2)\in\mathbb R^2\) and \(F\in C^{1,1}\) is a nonnegative potential. In the scalar case, if \(\{m_i\}\) are solutions of \(F'(m)=0\), then the intervals \(\{m_i < u < m_{i+1}\}\) are invariant under similar scalar equation; it is well known. In two-component case invariant domains structure is much more complex, and its description is the authors' main goal. Previous articles: \textit{V. S. Afraimovich, A. V. Babin} and \textit{S. N.
