Abstract

We consider the family of destabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equations in one spatial dimension ut + νuxxxx + βuxx + γuux = αu for α, ν ≥ 0 and β, γ ∈ ℝ. For certain parameter values, shock-like stationary solutions have been numerically observed. In this work we verify the existence of several such solutions using the framework of self-consistent bounds and validated numerics.
