Analyticity for Kuramoto-Sivashinsky-type equations in two spatial dimensions

摘要

In this work, we investigate the analyticity properties of solutions of Kuramoto-Sivashinsky-type equations in two spatial dimensions, with periodic initial data. In order to do this, we explore the applicability in three-dimensional models of a spectral method, which was developed by the authors for the one-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. We introduce a criterion, which provides a sufficient condition for analyticity of a periodic function uC, involving the rate of growth of delta(n)u, in suitable norms, as n tends to infinity. This criterion allows us to establish spatial analyticity for the solutions of a variety of systems, including Topper-Kawahara, Frenkel-Indireshkumar, and Coward-Hall equations and their dispersively modified versions, once we assume that these systems possess global attractors.
