Fourier spectral approximation to long-time behavior of three dimensional Ginzburg-Landau type equation*

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a three dimensional Ginzburg–Landau type equation with a periodic initial value condition. A fully discrete Galerkin–Fourier spectral approximation scheme is constructed, and then the dynamical properties of the discrete system are analyzed. First, the existence and convergence of global attractors of the discrete system are proved by a priori estimates and error estimates of the discrete solution, and the numerical stability and convergence of the discrete scheme are proved. Furthermore, the long-time convergence and stability of the discrete scheme are proved.
