Abstract

Third order amplitude equations on hexagonal lattices can be used for predicting the existence and stability of stripes, up- and down-hexagons in pattern forming systems. These amplitude equations predict the nonexistence of bistable ranges between up- and down-hexagons and tristable ranges between stripes, up- and down-hexagons. In the present work we use fifth order amplitude equations for finding such bistable and tristable ranges for a generalized Swift-Hohenberg equation and discuss stationary front connections between up- and down-hexagons.
