Abstract

ABSTRACT We study the bifurcation analysis of the Swift–Hohenberg equation (SHE) with the odd-periodic condition as period parameter λ moves. Motivated by Peletier and Rottschäfer [Pattern selection of solutions of the Swift–Hohenberg equations. Phys D. 2004;194:95–126] and Peletier and Williams [Some canonical bifurcations in the Swift–Hohenberg equation. SIAM J Appl Dyn Syst. 2007;6:208–235], with the complete proof based on center manifold reduction, we show how the periodic SHE bifurcates from the trivial solution to an attractor when λ passes a critical number, and mainly when a gap collapsed to a point, and an overlapped interval emerges. Peletier and Williams provided the local behavior about nontrivial solutions of the SHE depending on critical lengths or the overlapped interval based on -norm. In this paper, by dropping the symmetric condition given in the paper by Peletier and Williams, we extend their results and find the explicit stationary solution of the SHE. We also present several numerical results explaining our results.
