A parallel algorithm for the computation of invariant tori in large-scale dissipative systems

A parallelizable algorithm to compute invariant tori of high-dimensional dissipative systems, obtained upon discretization of PDEs is presented. The size of the set of equations to be solved is only a small multiple of the dimension of the original system. The sequential and parallel implementations are compared with a previous method (Sánchez et al. (2010)) [11], showing that important savings in wall-clock time can be achieved. In order to test it, a thermal convection problem of a binary mixture of fluids has been used. The new method can also be applied to problems with very low rotation numbers, for which the previous is not suitable. This is tested in two examples of two-dimensional maps.
