Abstract

This paper is concerned with the bifurcation of a complex Swift-Hohenberg equation. The attractor bifurcation of the complex Swift-Hohenberg equation on a onedimensional domain (0, L) is investigated. It is shown that the n-dimensional complex Swift-Hohenberg equation bifurcates from the trivial solution to an attractor under the Dirichlet boundary condition on a general domain and under a periodic boundary condition when the bifurcation parameter crosses some critical values. The stability property of the bifurcation attractor is analyzed.
