Me. Johnson et al., The Oseberg transition: Visualization of global bifurcations for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, INT J B CH, 11(1), 2001, pp. 1-18
We present and discuss certain global bifurcations involving the interactio
n of one- and two-dimensional invariant manifolds of steady and periodic so
lutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Numerical bifurcation calcula
tions, dimensionality reduction using approximate inertial manifolds/forms,
as well as approximation and visualization of invariant manifolds are comb
ined in order to characterize what we term the "Oseberg transition".
