Title: Gradient catastrophes for Burgers equation on a finite interval. Numerical and qualitative study

Abstract:
We consider initial value-boundary problem (IVBP) for the Burgers equation

      ut(x,t)=uxx(x,t)+2ηu(x,t)ux(x,t)

on a finite interval:

      u(x,0)=f(x),u(α,t)=l(t),u(β,t)=r(t),x[α,β].

The case of constant boundary conditions u(α,t)=A, u(β,t)=B and its asymptotics is of special interest here. For such a IVBP viscosity usually produces asymptotic stationary solution which is invariant for some subalgebra of the full symmetry algebra of the equation. But the evolution may also result in a stable gradient catastrophe.
