Traveling oscillating fronts (TOFs) are specific waves of the form U ⋆ (x, t) = e −iωt V ⋆ (x − ct) with a profile V ⋆ which decays at −∞ but approaches a nonzero limit at +∞. TOFs usually appear in complex Ginzburg Landau equations of the type U t = αU xx + G(|U | 2 )U . In this paper we prove a theorem on the asymptotic stability of TOFs, where we allow the initial perturbation to be the sum of an exponentially localized part and a front-like part which approaches a small but nonzero limit at +∞. The underlying assumptions guarantee that the operator, obtained from linearizing about the TOF in a co-moving and co-rotating frame, has essential spectrum touching the imaginary axis in a quadratic fashion and that further isolated eigenvalues are bounded away from the imaginary axis. The basic idea of the proof is to consider the problem in an extended phase space which couples the wave dynamics on the real line to the ODE dynamics at +∞. Using slowly decaying exponential weights, the framework allows to derive appropriate resolvent estimates, semigroup techniques, and Gronwall estimates.
In this paper, we consider an energy-conserving continuous Galerkin discretization of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a magnetic trapping potential and a stirring potential for angular momentum rotation. The discretization is based on finite elements in space and time and allows for arbitrary polynomial orders. It was first analyzed in [O.
