We present some results on the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, which models pattern formation on unstable flame fronts and thin hydrodynamic films. We show Gevrey class regularity of the solutions and decay of the orbits to small neighborhoods (exponentially small) of some simple manifolds (approximate inertial manifolds).
1. Introduction and notations Inspired by the work of Foias and T e m a m [12] and Jolly, Kevrekidis and Titi [14], we present results concerning Gevrey class regularity and long-term behavior of the solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Because there is no forcing term in the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, by looking at solutions for longer times we are able to get stronger results than those in ref. [14] under the same assumptions. We apply the techniques of refs. [6, 12, 14] to prove our results. The same ideas can be applied to other dissipative partial differential equations. An inertial manifold is a finite-dimensional, positively invariant, Lipschitz manifold which attracts all orbits exponentially, and so it contains the global attractor. If it exists, it enables us to reduce the long-time behavior of an infinite-dimensional dynamical system (PDE) to that of a finite-dimensional dynamical system (ODE). If the P D E is restricted to an inertial manifold, the P D E is equivalent to an O D E called an inertial form. Because of its explicit form, approximate inertial manifolds are easier to compute numerically than the inertial manifolds themselves, and the results give interesting, relatively simple representations of the dynamics of the system considered; see Foias et al. [4], Jauberteau et al. [13] and Jolly et al. [14, 15]. The Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation models pattern formations in different physical contexts, and it is a paradigm of low-dimensional behavior. The existence of inertial manifolds for the K u r a m o t o Sivashinsky equation has been established in refs. [2, 3, 6, 9]. It does not provide the inertial form in an explicit form, so an approximate inertial manifold is necessary. To do this, a number of approximation schemes have been introduced in literature (see ref. [14] and references there). Following the approach of ref. [14], because we consider the Gevrey class regularity, we are able to improve the error estimates in ref. [14]. We also have a similar result regarding the Navier-Stokes equations [16]. But we did not consider Gevrey class regularity there; if one considers Gevrey class regularity, then one can show [21] the decay of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations to exponentially small neighborhoods of some simple approximate inertial manifolds.

We consider the normalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation: 0b/

u(x,O) = u o
i n R X R +, in R,
with the periodic boundary condition
u(x,t) =u(x + L,t). In this paper, we only consider odd initial conditions and odd solutions. The Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation can be written as [6, 18] 0u
O--t-+ A u - A 1 / 2 u + B ( u , u ) = 0 Vu ~ H,

where H consists of those odd functions u such that U=

(3) has an orthonormal basis {wj = sin(2rrjx/L)}, which are eigenfunctions of A eigenvalues At = ( 2 ~ j / L ) 4, j = 1, 2 . . . . . We denote by (.,.), 1.1 the scalar product respectively. We define P =Pm to be the orthogonal projection on the span of Q = Qm = I - Pm" l e t u(t) = p ( t ) + q(t) (where p(t) = Pu(t), q(t) = eu(t)) be the (1) can be written as

We recall Agmon's inequality in the one-dimensional case, (7)
l u l ~ ~ v ~ - l u [ 1/2 [A1/4u[1/2,
and also that by integration by parts
(B(u,u),u)=O
VuED(AI/4).

In the following we denote by (.,.)~, 1.1, the scalar product and the norm in D(e'A"), that is, [ul, = le'A~ul,
( u , v ) , = (e'A°u,e'A°v).
Let the initial data for (1) be u 0 ~ H, and let u(t) be the corresponding odd solution of (1). Then we derive a bound for M'u(t)l for s >_ 0 (where 4s is an integer) (theorem 1 of section 2), and we show A~erA~/4u(t) (where s and r are appropriate constants) is analytic for t large enough (corollary 1 of section 3). We also prove all the solutions approach some exponentially small neighborhood of some simple manifolds (corollary 3 and theorem 5 of section 4).
2. Some estimates
First we give an estimate of the nonlinear term B by following ref. [12] closely.
Lemma 1. For fixed s, ~', ot where s, ~-> 0 and 0 < a _< 1/4, there exists a constant c, > 0 only depending on s, such that , ,1/2 [A1/au~1/2 IA,+ 1/4U[- r f o r u ~ D(AS+I/4e~A=). [A~B(u,u)l~<_CslUl~
(9)
Proof. Let u,v ~ D(AS+l/ae~A"),w ~ D(e~A=), and set u = ~ i u j e i(2~ix/L),
u 7 = e "r(2~rj/L)4~ lujl.

We use similar notations for v and w. We have
B ( u , v) = - i

Suppose s > 1/4. Then, because

(16)
Now from (14) and (16), we see that l e m m a 1 is true for all s >_ 0 with c, = 2V~-c'. So we have proved l e m m a 1.
[]
Remarks. T h e best estimate in l e m m a 1 is achieved when a = 1 / 4 . L e m m a 1 is also true in the complexified case. Now we give a b o u n d for the orbits of the K u r a m o t o - S i v a s h i n s k y equation.
Theorem 1. Let L > 1, s > 0, and let 4s be an integer. T h e n for any u 0 ~ H there exists a constant to, only d e p e n d i n g on luo[, such that if t > t, = t o + 4s, then IASu(t)[ < Ps = Ms L4s+5/2,
(17)
where M s > 0 only d e p e n d s on s. T h e p r o o f below is formal. It can be m a d e rigorous by using Galerkin approximation and then passing to the limit using the a p p r o p r i a t e c o m p a c t n e s s t h e o r e m s and the vector valued Vitali t h e o r e m (see e.g. refs. [1, 10, 12]). T h e s a m e consideration applies to the proofs of t h e o r e m s 2 and 3 below.
Proof. We use induction to prove t h e o r e m 1. For s = 0, 1 / 4 , by refs. [6, 17] we know t h e o r e m 1 is true. Taking the scalar product of (1) with get

For ~ = r e i°, taking the scalar product of (36) with A2Su(r e i°) in D(CA"), multiplying it by e i°, and taking the real part of the result, we have

We have proved theorem 2. Now from theorem 1 and theorem 2, we easily prove
Corollary 1. Let 0 < ~ < 1/4, s >_ 0 and 4s be an integer, and assume u 0 • H. Then u ( t ) - ~ A s e r*(o')A'~ u( r e i°)

Ps, t, are the same as in theorem 1, and T,(p,) is given by (32).
4. Approximate inertial manifolds Now we consider approximate inertial manifolds. We show all t h e ' trajectories approach some exponentially small neighborhood of some simple manifolds (cf. refs. [5, 14, 20]).

Remark. T h e case s = 0 or 1 / 4 , T.(ps) = 0 was considered in ref. [14]. We see that every solution of the K u r a m o t o - S i v a s h i n s k y equation a p p r o a c h e s some exponentially small n e i g h b o r h o o d of the linear manifold PmH. If the solution u(t) is on the universal attractor, then (61), (62) are true for all t ~ N. Next, as in refs.

Now we show the existence of q~.

We see Tp is a contraction map if (64) is true. Now let the fixed point of Tp be @(p), then we have [] proved theorem 4 and the graph of q~ is an analytic manifold (see refs. [7, 10]). Now we define • 0 ( p ) = 0,

From theorem 4, we get ]A'(@(p) - @k(P))]~ -< 2(rzA~nl+/z)klASdPl(P)]~,

F r o m this and corollary 3, we see (72) is true. N o w combine (72) and (70) we get (73) is true.

Remark. T h e case s = 1 / 4 , T , ( p , ) = 0 was considered in ref. [14]. F r o m t h e o r e m 5 and corollary 3, we see the distance of orbits to ~," is closer than it is to Pm H by a factor of Am +1"~ A n d graph(q) 3) achieves the same estimates as graph(q)). N o t e that for large s, Ps is very large, and then there might not be any gain by taking large s (see (']2)). T h e real gain in this case is the exponential term and even here T , d e p e n d s on p,. So, in real c o m p u t a t i o n s one should probably take s relatively small, say s = 0 or s = 1 / 4 .
