### A coupled system of Korteweg de Vries equations as singular limit of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equations

#### Abstract

We consider a coupled system of Kuramoto--Sivashinsky (KS) equations in a bounded interval depending on a suitable parameter $\nu > 0$. As $\nu$ tends to zero, we obtain a coupled system of Korteweg--de Vries (KdV) equations known to describe strong interactions of two long internal gravity waves in a stratified fluid. Existence and uniqueness of global solutions of the KS model is established as well.
