We present measurements on parametrically driven surface waves (Faraday waves) performed in the vicinity of a bi-critical point in parameter space, where modes with harmonic and subharmonic time dependence interact. The primary patterns are…

Patterns forming spontaneously in extended, three-dimensional, dissipative systems are likely to excite several homogeneous soft modes ($\approx$ hydrodynamic modes) of the underlying physical system, much more than quasi one- and…
We rigorously prove the bifurcation of slow-moving pattern interfaces with general direction in a two-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg-type model close to a Turing instability for a large class of nonlinearities. These interfaces describe the…

Transition State Theory is a central cornerstone in reaction dynamics. Its key step is the identification of a dividing surface that is crossed only once by all reactive trajectories. This assumption is often badly violated, especially when…
We present the theory of time-dependent point transformations to find independent dynamical normal modes for 2D systems subjected to time-dependent control in the limit of small oscillations. The condition that determines if the independent…

This paper is a preliminary work to address the problem of dynamical systems with parameters varying in time. An idea to predict their behaviour is proposed. These systems are called \emph{transient systems}, and are distinguished from…
