Abstract:
In this paper we study a simplified model of the stationary Swift–Hohenberg equation, where the cubic nonlinearity is replaced by a piecewise linear function with similar properties. The main goal is to prove the existence of so-called localized solutions of this equation, i.e., solutions decaying to a homogeneous zero state with unbounded increase of the space variable. The following two cases of the space variable are considered: one-dimensional (on the whole line) and two-dimensional; in the latter case, radially symmetric solutions are studied. The existence of such solutions and increase of their number with change in the equation parameters are shown.
