Abstract:
The local dynamics of a system of parabolic equations with strong nonlinearity involving a spatial derivative are studied. The basic critical cases when an equilibrium state becomes unstable are discussed. In all the cases, families of special evolution equations playing the role of normal forms are constructed.
Key words:parabolic systems of equations, quasi-normal forms, strong nonlinearity, weak diffusion, stability loss.
