Abstract
Amplitude equations are used to describe the onset of instability in wide classes of partial differential equations (PDEs). One goal of the field is to determine simple universal/generic PDEs, to which many other classes of equations can be reduced, at least on a sufficiently long approximating time scale. In this work, we study the case when the reaction terms are nonlocal. In particular, we consider quadratic and cubic convolution-type nonlinearities. As a benchmark problem, we use the Swift-Hohenberg equation. The resulting amplitude equation is a Ginzburg-Landau PDE, where the coefficients can be calculated from the kernels. Our proof relies on separating critical and noncritical modes in Fourier space in combination with suitable kernel bounds.
