Abstract

For 3D reaction–diffusion equations, we study the problem of existence or nonexistence of an inertial manifold that is normally hyperbolic or absolutely normally hyperbolic. We present a system of two coupled equations with a cubic nonlinearity which does not admit a normally hyperbolic inertial manifold. An example separating the classes of such equations admitting an inertial manifold and a normally hyperbolic inertial manifold is constructed. Similar questions concerning absolutely normally hyperbolic inertial manifolds are discussed.
