Abstract
The paper considers the stationary Swift–Hohenberg equationcw−(∂x2+k02)2w−w3=0,where c > 0 is a constant, , and is a small parameter. In this case, the linear operator has a pair of real eigenvalues and a pair of purely imaginary eigenvalues. It can be proved that the equation has homoclinic (or single hump) solutions approaching to periodic solutions as (called single-hump generalized homoclinic solutions). This paper provides the first rigorous proof of existence of homoclinic solutions with two humps which tend to periodic solutions at infinity (or two-hump generalized homoclinic solutions) by pasting two appropriate single-hump generalized homoclinic solutions together. The dynamical system approach is used to reformulate the problem into a classical dynamical system problem and then the solution is decomposed into a decaying part and an oscillatory part at positive infinity. By adjusting some free constants and modifying the single-hump generalized homoclinic solution near negative infinity, it is shown that the solution is reversible with respect to a point near negative infinity. Therefore, the translational invariant and reversibility properties of the system yield a two-hump generalized homoclinic solution. The method may be applied to prove the existence of 2k-hump solutions for any positive integer k.
