“…Other techniques reduce the problem to compute the norm of an operator (as in Example 1.2) and apply a fixed point theorem, or use topological methods (Conley index). They have been successfully applied for instance in computing the following: Conley index for Kuramoto-Sivashinsky [142], bifurcation diagram for stationary solutions of Kuramoto-Sivashinsky [3], stationary solutions of viscous 1D Burgers with boundary conditions [69], traveling wave solutions for 1D Burgers equation [68], periodic orbits of Kuramoto-Sivashinsky [66,141,67,73,4], Conley index for the Swift-Hohenberg equation [51], bifurcation diagram of the Ohta-Kawasaki equation [136], stability of periodic viscous roll waves of the KdV-KS equation [6], existence of hexagons and rolls for a pattern formation model [134], self-similar solutions of a 1D model of 3D axisymmetric Euler [97], and many others.…”
