Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0728.00011.] The problem \(u_ t= \varepsilon^ 2 u_{xx}+ f(u)\), \(0<x<1\), \(u_ x(0)= u_ x(1) =0\), with \(f(u)=- u(u-1) (u+1)\), is a model problem for the Cahn-Hilliard equation. For the monotone increasing single-node unstable equilibrium \(e_ 1\), denote by \(e\) the periodically extended function and let \(\overline{u}^ \xi(x)= e(x- \xi)\), \(0\leq x\leq 1\). The slow-motion manifold \(M\) for functions \(\overline{u}^ \xi\) is a manifold in \(L^ 2(0,1)\) connecting the equilibria \(-1\), \(e_ 1\) and 1. It is constructed as a graph over \(M\); on \(M\) the solution \(u\) is sought as \(u(x,t)= u(\xi(t))\). The equations for \(\xi\) and the ``orthogonal variable \(V\) are linearized. The detailed knowledge of the eigenvalue problem for the linearized function is then used for the calculation of the first expansion terms.
