Description
Summary:In this thesis, a discrete Allen-Cahn model of equations with cubic-quintic nonlinearity will be compared with cubic-quintic-septic nonlinearity. This equation model combines bistability and bonding between sites or particles. Next, we will investigate the behavior of localized solutions that bifurcate from uniform solutions. The localized solution will form snaking in certain cases depending on the bifurcation parameter. The effects of nonlinearity and coupling strength between sites affect snaking behavior. The stronger the bond strength between sites, the smaller the snaking that appears. Meanwhile, the greater the nonlinearity effect of the given system, the greater the snaking that appears. This change in snaking behavior will determine the area owned by the pinning region. The model with cubic-quinticseptic nonlinearity will investigate the behavior of solutions and snaking for small, medium, and large nonlinearity effects. By varying the values of the model parameters, it will affect the stability of the solution and the snaking behavior. Furthermore, it will also determine the minimum total potential of the system which is represented by the maxwell point value. Maxwell point is a condition that satisfies when the upper state and zero state are energetically equal.
