INERTIAL MANIFOLDS FOR 1D REACTION-DIFFUSION-ADVECTION SYSTEMS. PART I: DIRICHLET AND NEUMANN BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

This is the first part of our study of inertial manifolds for the system of 1D reaction-diffusion-advection equations which is devoted to the case of Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. Although this problem does not initially possess the spectral gap property, it is shown that this property is satisfied after the proper non-local change of the dependent variable. The case of periodic boundary conditions where the situation is principally different and the inertial manifold may not exist is considered in the second part of our study.
