Mixing in reaction-diffusion systems: large phase offsets

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider Reaction-Diffusion systems on mathbbR, and prove diffusive mixing of asymptotic states u0(kx−phipm,k), where u0 is a periodic wave. Our analysis is the first to treat arbitrarily large phase-offsets phid=phi+−phi−, so long as this offset proceeds in a sufficiently regular manner. The offset phid completely determines the size of the asymptotic profiles, placing our analysis in the large data setting. In addition, the present result is a global stability result, in the sense that the class of initial data considered are not near the asymptotic profile in any sense. We prove global existence, decay, and asymptotic self-similarity of the associated wavenumber equation. We develop a functional framework to handle the linearized operator around large Burgers profiles via the exact integrability of the underlying Burgers flow. This framework enables us to prove a crucial, new mean-zero coercivity estimate, which we then combine with a nonlinear energy method.
