Extract

We study linear subspaces invariant under discrete operators corresponding to finitedifference approximations of differential operators with polynomial nonlinearities. In several cases, we establish a certain structural stability of invariant subspaces and sets of nonlinear differential operators of reaction–diffusion type with respect to their spatial discretisation. The corresponding lower-dimensional reductions of the finite-difference solutions on the invariant subspaces are constructed.
