This work studies front formation in the Allen-Cahn equation with a parameter heterogeneity which slowly varies in space. In particular, we consider a heterogeneity which mediates the local stability of the zero state and subsequent…
This paper is concerned with the analysis of a class of impacting systems of relevance in applications: cam-follower systems. We show that these systems, which can be modelled as discontinuously forced impact oscillators, can exhibit…
Pattern formation often occurs in confined systems, yet how boundaries shape patterning dynamics is unclear. We develop techniques to analyze confinement effects in nonlocal advection-diffusion equations, which generically capture the…
Motivated by experimental observations of exotic standing wave patterns in the two-frequency Faraday experiment, we investigate the role of normal form symmetries in the pattern selection problem. With forcing frequency components in ratio…
Recent studies of biological, chemical, and physical pattern-forming systems have started to go beyond the classic `near onset' and `far from equilibrium' theories for homogeneous systems to include the effects of spatial heterogeneities.…
The main goal of this paper is to understand the formation of hexagonal patterns from the dynamical transition theory point of view. We consider the transitions from a steady state of an abstract nonlinear dissipative system. To shed light…
Diffusion models generate structure by progressively transforming noise into data, yet the mechanisms underlying this transition remain poorly understood. In this work, we show that pattern formation in trained diffusion models can be…
When two-dimensional pattern-forming problems are posed on a periodic domain, classical techniques (Lyapunov-Schmidt, equivariant bifurcation theory) give considerable information about what periodic patterns are formed in the transition…
We study the patterns generated in finite-time sweeps across symmetry-breaking bifurcations in individual-based models. Similar to the well-known Kibble-Zurek scenario of defect formation, large-scale patterns are generated when model…
Pattern forming systems allow for a wealth of states, where wavelengths and orientation of patterns varies and defects disrupt patches of monocrystalline regions. Growth of patterns has long been recognized as a strong selection mechanism.…
When the steady states at infinity become unstable through a pattern forming bifurcation, a travelling wave may bifurcate into a modulated front which is time-periodic in a moving frame. This scenario has been studied by B.Sandstede and…
In this article we introduce an original model in order to study the emergence of chaos in a reaction diffusion system in the presence of self- and cross-diffusion terms. A Fourier Spectral Method is derived to approximate equilibria and…
We consider the motion of a harmonically trapped overdamped particle, which is submitted to a self-phoretic force, that is proportional to the gradient of a diffusive field for which the particle itself is the source. In agreement with…
A quasi-potential approximation to the Navier-Stokes equation for low viscosity fluids is developed to study pattern formation in parametric surface waves driven by a force that has two frequency components. A bicritical line separating…
This study investigates the existence and stability of limit cycles resulting from self-excited oscillations in linear multi-degree-of-freedom systems subjected to discontinuous, state-dependent forcing. Using the method of averaging and…
We study the formation of localized patterns arising in doubly resonant dispersive optical parametric oscillators. They form through the locking of fronts connecting a continuous-wave and a Turing pattern state. This type of localized…
We examine the effect of a slowly-varying time-dependent parameter on invasion fronts for which an unstable homogeneous equilibrium is invaded by either another homogeneous state or a spatially periodic state. We first explain and motivate…
We investigated the effect of time delays on phase configurations in a set of two-dimensional coupled phase oscillators. Each oscillator is allowed to interact with its neighbors located within a finite radius, which serves as a control…
Many elastic structures exhibit rapid shape transitions between two possible equilibrium states: umbrellas become inverted in strong wind and hopper popper toys jump when turned inside-out. This snap-through is a general motif for the…
This article examines the dynamic phase transitions and pattern formations attributed to binary systems modeled by the Cahn-Hilliard equation. In particular, we consider a two-dimensional lattice structure and determine how different…
