1 Fredholm determinants and computing the stability of travelling waves Simon J.A. Malham, Margaret Beck (HW), Issa Karambal (NAIS), Veerle Ledoux (Ghent), Robert Marangell (UNC), Jitse Niesen (Leeds), Vera Thümmler (D-fine) Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, UK NWCS 2012, Seattle June 13th 16th

2 Spectral problems Parabolic nonlinear systems on R T: t U = B U + c x U + F(U). Travelling wave U c. Small perturbations U satisfy: B U + c x U + DF(U c )U =λu. Main solution approaches: Projection and iteration. Shooting and matching. Operator determinants.

3 Setup OnR: B xx U + c x U + DF(U c )U =λu x U = P, x P = B 1( λ DF(U c ) ) U cb 1 P. Y = A(x;λ) Y. Forλ C: matching condition x E(λ) := e 0 TrA(ξ;λ) dξ det ( Y 1 Y k Y+ k+1 ) Y+ n x = e 0 TrA(ξ;λ) dξ det ( Y Y +)

4 Synonyms Carrying the same information are: In one dimension d = 1: Evans matrix; Matrix of transmission coefficients; Fredholm operators; Titchmarsh Weyl matrix-function; Grassmannian Riccati flow. In multi-dimensions d > 1: Fredholm operators; Dirichlet-to-Neumann map; Fredholm Grassmannian flow.

5 Numerical issues Computational domain. Different exponential growth rates. Polynomial complexity. Flow singularities?! Where to match? Retaining analyticity? How to project transversely. How to approximate the Fredholm Grassmannian flow.
