Bifurcating vortex solutions of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

Dynamical Systems 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equation on the real line admits nontrivial 2π2\pi-periodic vortex solutions that have 2n2n simple zeros (``vortices'') per period. The vortex solutions bifurcate from the trivial solution and inherit their zeros from the solution of the linearized equation. This result rules out the possibility that the vortices are determining nodes for vortex solutions of the CGL equation.
