Wu, Yujiang; Guo, Benyu Localization and approximation of attractors for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equations. (English) Zbl 0971.34042 Acta Math. Sci. (Engl. Ed.) 20, No. 2, 145-154 (2000). The authors provide a sequence \((M_{m,j})_{j \in \mathbb N}\) of \(m\)-dimensional approximate inertial manifolds \(M_{m,j}\) for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equations. Approximate inertial manifolds exponentially attract and absorb all orbits in a thin neighborhood of the manifold. It is shown that the thickness of these neighborhoods, which localize the global attractor, decreases with increasing dimension \(m\) for fixed order \(j\). Thus they aid in the approximate computation of large-time solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equations.
