Control of turbulence in oscillatory reaction-diffusion systems through a combination of global and local feedback

Amplitude death in a pair of one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau systems coupled by diffusive connections

This paper shows that, in a pair of one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) systems, diffusive connections can induce amplitude death. Stability analysis of a spatially uniform steady state in coupled CGL systems reveals that amplitude death never occurs in a pair of identical CGL systems coupled by no-delay connection, but can occur in the case of delay connection. Moreover, amplitude death never occurs in coupled identical CGL systems with zero nominal frequency. Based on these analytical results, we propose a procedure for designing the connection delay time and the coupling strength to induce spatial-robust stabilization, that is, a stabilization of the steady state for any system size and any boundary condition. Numerical simulations are performed to confirm the analytical results.

Noise-induced standing waves in oscillatory systems with time-delayed feedback

In oscillatory reaction-diffusion systems, time-delay feedback can lead to the instability of uniform oscillations with respect to formation of standing waves. Here, we investigate how the presence of additive, Gaussian white noise can induce the appearance of standing waves. Combining analytical solutions of the model with spatiotemporal simulations, we find that noise can promote standing waves in regimes where the deterministic uniform oscillatory modes are stabilized. As the deterministic phase boundary is approached, the spatiotemporal correlations become stronger, such that even small noise can induce standing waves in this parameter regime. With larger noise strengths, standing waves could be induced at finite distances from the (deterministic) phase boundary. The overall dynamics is defined through the interplay of noisy forcing with the inherent reaction-diffusion dynamics.

Multiple solutions and numerical analysis to the dynamic and stationary models coupling a delayed energy balance model involving latent heat and discontinuous albedo with a deep ocean

We study a climatologically important interaction of two of the main components of the geophysical system by adding an energy balance model for the averaged atmospheric temperature as dynamic boundary condition to a diagnostic ocean model having an additional spatial dimension. In this work, we give deeper insight than previous papers in the literature, mainly with respect to the 1990 pioneering model by Watts and Morantine. We are taking into consideration the latent heat for the two phase ocean as well as a possible delayed term. Non-uniqueness for the initial boundary value problem, uniqueness under a non-degeneracy condition and the existence of multiple stationary solutions are proved here. These multiplicity results suggest that an S-shaped bifurcation diagram should be expected to occur in this class of models generalizing previous energy balance models. The numerical method applied to the model is based on a finite volume scheme with nonlinear weighted essentially non-oscillatory reconstruction and Runge-Kutta total variation diminishing for time integration.

Stabilization of standing waves through time-delay feedback

Standing waves are studied as solutions of a complex Ginzburg-Landau equation subjected to local and global time-delay feedback terms. The onset is described as an instability of the uniform oscillations with respect to spatially periodic perturbations. The solution of the standing wave pattern is given analytically and studied through simulations.
