Computation, dimensionality, and zero-dissipation limit of the ginzburg-landau wave equation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, convergence is proved and optimal error estimates are obtained for the Galerkin approximation scheme for computing spatially period solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau wave equation. Using this convergent scheme, we carry out a series of numerical experiments towards an understanding of the finite dimensionality of the wave motion evolving from a small neighbourhd of the zero solution. In the zerodissipation Limit, we show that the solutions approach those of the cubic SchrÖdinger equation.
