We consider the Ginzburg-Landau equation, $ \partial_t u= \partial_x^2 u + u - u|u|^2 $, with complex amplitude $u(x,t)$. We first analyze the phenomenon of phase slips as a consequence of the {\it local} shape of $u$. We next prove a {\it…

Rotating waves are periodic solutions in SO(2) equivariant dynamical systems. Their precession frequency changes with parameters and it may change sign, passing through zero. When this happens, the dynamical system is very sensitive to…
We describe the dynamical behavior found in numerical solutions of the Vector Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in parameter values where plane waves are stable. Topological defects in the system are responsible for a rich behavior. At low…

An rf superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) consists of a superconducting ring interrupted by a Josephson junction (JJ). When driven by an alternating magnetic field, the induced supercurrents around the ring are determined by…
A new type of chaos called laminar chaos was found in singularly perturbed dynamical systems with periodic time-varying delay [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 084102 (2018)]. It is characterized by nearly constant laminar phases, which are…
For dynamical systems that switch between different modes of operation, parameter variation can cause periodic solutions to lose or acquire new switching events. When this causes the eigenvalues (stability multipliers) associated with the…
In the dynamics generated by the suspension bridge equation, traveling waves are an essential feature. The existing literature focuses primarily on the idealized one-dimensional case, while traveling structures in two spatial dimensions…
We study a one-dimensional swarmalator model with inertia. Previous studies have focused almost exclusively on the overdamped limit. We find inertia introduces a new unsteady collective state in which the rainbow order parameters undergo…
This paper presents an introduction to phase transitions and critical phenomena on the one hand, and nonequilibrium patterns on the other, using the Ginzburg-Landau theory as a unified language. In the first part, mean-field theory is…
