Abstract
We present a family of numerical implementations of Kato's ODE propagating global bases of analytically varying invariant subspaces of which the first-order version is a surprisingly simple "greedy algorithm" that is both stable and easy to program and the second-order version a relaxation of a first-order scheme of Brin and Zumbrun. The method has application to numerical Evans function computations used to assess stability of traveling-wave solutions of time-evolutionary PDE.

One-dimensional stability of parallel shock layers in isentropic magnetohydrodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of asymptotic ODE estimates and numerical Evans function computations was used to study the stability of parallel isentropic magnetohydrodynamic shock layers over the full range of physical parameters (shock amplitude, strength of imposed magnetic field, viscosity, magnetic permeability, and electrical resistivity) for a γ-law gas with γ ∈ [ 1, 3 ].

Perturbation theory for linear operators

Tosio Kato

The gap lemma and geometric criteria for instability of viscous shock profiles

TL;DR: In this article, the gap lemma was shown to be a necessary condition for the stability of viscous wave profiles, which is defined in terms of the sign of a certain Melnikov integral of the associated viscous profile.

Numerical testing of the stability of viscous shock waves

TL;DR: A new theoretical Evans function condition is used as the basis of a numerical test of viscous shock wave stability, and the need to incorporate features from the analytic Evans function theory for purposes of numerical stability is found.

An efficient shooting algorithm for Evans function calculations in large systems

TL;DR: In this article, Brin and Zumbrun introduced a simple polar coordinate algorithm representing pure (monomial) products as scalar multiples of orthonormal bases, for which the angular equation is a numerically optimized version of the continuous orthogonalization method of Drury-Davey.
