Abstract

The goal of this research is to rigorously compute implicitly defined manifolds of solutions of infinite dimensional nonlinear equations. Using a multi-parameter continuation method on a finite dimensional projection, a triangulation of the manifold is computed and is then used to construct local charts of the global manifold in the infinite dimensional domain of the operator. We apply this method to find the equilibria of the Cahn-Hilliard equation. We also studied cusp bifurcations, in order to find the necessary conditions for the existence of the same in any finite dimension. (AU)
