The investigator and his colleague atudy the computation ofglobal attractors and invariant manifolds for dissipative partialdifferential equations. Global attractors are detected byinterpolation of analytic (in complex time) rather than directsimulations. The performance of this approach is connected tothe growth rate of solutions backward in time. Computations arecarried out to determine if a set of solutions with a particularrate is in fact a manifold. Adaptations of a succesfulcontraction mapping algorthm for inertial manifolds are made forcenter manifolds and foliations. Specific applications are madeto physical models including the Camassa-Holm,Kuramoto-Sivashinsky and Navier-Stokes equations, includingissues from turbulence theory. This project concerns a variety of mathematical equationsdescribing such physical phenomena as combustion, fluid flow, andturbulence. Part of the effort is to develop a method toreliably determine whether a particular computed solutionrepresents permanent or merely temporary behavior. Anotherconcerns the visualization of geometric objects corresponding todistinguished sets of solutions, which determine the ultimatebehavior of the physical system. Though the work is carried outfor several specific, physically significant equations, it isgeneral enough to extend, in a natural way, to many others of asimilar form, including some modeling the weather.

研究者和他的同事研究了耗散偏微分方程的全局吸引子和不变流形的计算。全局吸引子是通过解析插值（在复时间内）而不是直接模拟来检测的。该方法的性能与解在时间上向后的增长率有关。通过计算来确定具有特定比率的一组解是否实际上是一个流形。将一种成功的惯性流形收缩映射算法应用于中心流形和叶形。具体应用于物理模型，包括Camassa-Holm，Kuramoto-Sivashinsky和Navier-Stokes方程，包括湍流理论的问题。这个项目涉及描述燃烧、流体流动和湍流等物理现象的各种数学方程。工作的一部分是开发一种方法来可靠地确定一个特定的计算解决方案是代表永久的还是仅仅是暂时的行为。另一个涉及几何对象的可视化，这些对象对应于不同的解集，这些解集决定了物理系统的最终行为。虽然这项工作是针对几个具体的、物理上重要的方程进行的，但它足以以一种自然的方式扩展到许多其他类似形式的方程，包括一些天气模型。
