Two-dimensional rotating waves in a functional-differential diffusion equation with rotation of spatial arguments and time delay

Abstract

We consider the Neumann boundary value problem for a parabolic functional-differential equation in a disk. We describe spatially inhomogeneous solutions in the form of rotating waves branching from the homogeneous stationary solution in the case of an Andronov-Hopf bifurcation. By passing to a moving coordinate system and by reducing the original problem to a stationary boundary value problem for a partial differential equation with a deviating argument, we prove the existence of rotating waves appearing in the disk under the Andronov-Hopf bifurcation.
