We consider the stability of front-type modulated waves in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGL). The waves occur in the bistable regime (e.g. of the quintic CGL) and connect the zero state to a spatially homogenous state oscillating…
Motionless domains walls representing heteroclinic temporal or spatial orbits typically exist only for very specific parameters. This report introduces a novel mechanism for stabilizing temporal domain walls away from the Maxwell point…
