Theories of localised pattern formation are important to understand a broad range of natural patterns, but are less well-understood than more established mechanisms of domain-filling pattern formation. Here, we extend recent work on pattern…

Recent work on the behaviour of localised states in pattern forming partial differential equations has focused on the traditional model Swift-Hohenberg equation which, as a result of its simplicity, has additional structure --- it is…

We present a general approach to prove the existence, both locally and globally in amplitude, of fully localised multi-dimensional patterns in partial differential equations containing a compact spatial heterogeneity. While one-dimensional…

It is well known that aspects of the formation of localised states in a one-dimensional Swift--Hohenberg equation can be described by Ginzburg--Landau-type envelope equations. This paper extends these multiple scales analyses to cases where…

We study the Swift-Hohenberg equation - a paradigm model for pattern formation - with "large" spatially periodic coefficients and find a Turing bifurcation that generates patterns whose leading order form is a Bloch wave modulated by…

Localised structures appear in a wide variety of systems, arising from a pinning mechanism due to the presence of a small-scale pattern or an imposed grid. When there is a separation of lengthscales, the width of the pinning region is…

Axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric patterns in the cubic-quintic Swift-Hohenberg equation posed on a disk with Neumann boundary conditions are studied via numerical continuation and bifurcation analysis. Axisymmetric localized solutions in…
