Brusselator:

We consider the 1D Brusselator partial differential equation (PDE)[1]. Here we consider a state of the form x(y,t)=(u(y,t),v(y,t)) where yΩ=[0,] is the spatial location. The PDE is of the form: {ut=A+u2v(B+1)u+σ2uvt=Buu2v+σ2v with boundary condition: u(0,t)=u(,t)=1, v(0,t)=v(,t)=3 and initial condition x0(y)=(u(y,0),v(y,0)) with: u(y,0)=1+sin(2πy), v(y,0)=3.
We consider: A=1,B=3,σ=1/2, =1. We transform the PDE into a system of ODEs by spatial discretization using a grid of N+1 points with N=4 (See [2]).



We thus consider that we have 4 oscillators of state x(yi,t)(u(yi,t),v(yi,t)) with initial conditions x(yi,0)(u(yi,0),v(yi,0)) (i=1,2,3,4). The system of ordinary differential equations for this example is described by: {u1.=A+u12v1(B+1)u1+σ(u02u1+u2)v1.=Bu1u12v1+σ(v02v1+v2)u2.=A+u22v2(B+1)u2+σ(u12u2+u3)v2.=Bu2u22v2+σ(v12v2+v3)u3.=A+u32v3(B+1)u3+σ(u22u3+u4)v3.=Bu3u32v3+σ(v22v3+v4)u4.=A+u42v4(B+1)u4+σ(u32u4+u5)v4.=Bu4u42v4+σ(v32v4+v5) with u0=u5=1 and v0=v5=3.

Results:

We consider a system with uncertainty wW=[0.05,0.05], set of initial conditions B(x0,ε) with ε=0.02, the time-step used in Euler's method is τ=2104, and we take T=kτ with k=34302 as an approximate period.
Using the figures shown below, we check that:
  • B((i0+1)T)B(i0T) for i0=3
  • also for u1, the minimum m+1=0.92679 (represented by a small cyan ball) of the upper green curve u~1(t)+δW(t) is less than the maximum M1=1.51263 (represented by a small gray ball) of the lower green curve u~1(t)δW(t)
  • and Σi=1kλi 27147.716<0.
Then, we can conclude that the system converges towards an attractive LC contained in [B(3T),B(4T)].

The figures below show respectively the simulation of u1(t),u2(t),v1(t),v2(t) and δW(t) with perturbation (w=0.05) over 5 periods (5T=34,3) for dt=0.0002. The red curves represent the Euler approximation, the green curves correspond to the borders of tube Bw. The black vertical lines delimit the portion of the tube between t=i0T0 and t=(i0+1)T0. The cyan point represents the minimum m+1 of the upper green curve and the gray point shows the maximum M1 of the lower green curve.
