Chaos of the initial and boundary value problems for the reaction-diffusion equations

Abstract

This paper investigates an initial and boundary value problem for the reaction-diffusion equations, which can be considered as a linearized form of the advective Fisher-KPP equations. It is demonstrated that the initial and boundary value problem is chaotic when the three parameters of the reaction-diffusion equation vary above a specific surface. However, stable solutions are obtained both on and below this surface within a particular subset of initial values. The chaos and stability of the nonhomogeneous initial boundary value problem are further studied. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the validity of the obtained results.
