Rattling in spatially discrete diffusion equations with hysteresis
Pavel Gurevich and Sergey Tikhomirov
Abstract
The paper treats a reaction-diffusion equation with hysteretic nonlinearity on a one-dimensional lattice. It arises as a result of the spatial discretization of the corresponding continuous model with so-called nontransverse initial data and exhibits a propagating microstructure --- which we call {\em rattling} --- in the hysteretic component of the solution. We analyze this microstructure and determine the speed of its propagation depending on the parameters of hysteresis and the nontransversality coefficient in the initial data.
