Existence and asymptotic behavior of nontrivial solutions to the Swift-Hohenberg equation. (English) Zbl 1411.34037

Authors’ abstract: In this paper, we discuss several results regarding existence, non-existence and asymptotic properties of solutions to \[ u^{\prime \prime \prime \prime }+qu^{\prime \prime }+f(u)=0 \] under various hypotheses on the parameter \(q\) and on the potential \(F\left( t\right) =\int_{0}^{t}f\left( s\right) ds,\) generally assumed to be bounded from below. We prove a non-existence result in the case \(q\leq 0\) and an existence result of periodic solution for: 1) almost every suitably small (depending on \(F\)), positive values of \(q\); 2) all suitably large (depending on \(F\)) values of \( q.\) Finally, we describe some conditions on \(F\) which ensure that some (or all) solutions \(u_{q}\) to the equation satisfy \(\left\| u_{q}\right\| _{\infty }\rightarrow 0\) as \( q\downarrow 0\).
