We present results of numerical simulations of coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations that describe parametrically excited waves. In one dimension we focus on a new regime in which the Eckhaus sideband instability does not lead to an overall…
Motivated by the rich variety of complex patterns observed on the surface of fluid layers that are vibrated at multiple frequencies, we investigate the effect of such resonant forcing on systems undergoing a Hopf bifurcation to spatially…
Extensive studies have investigated the transition mechanism of boundary layers initiated by a single primary instability. In a real-world scenario, however, multiple primary instabilities of different physical nature would coexist and…
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…
The standing surface waves in a rectangular vertically oscillating vessel filled with water (Faraday waves) in the presence of a floating elastic sheet are studied experimentally and theoretically. The threshold amplitude of the instability…
We investigate the phase diagram of the Sakaguchi-Kuramoto model with a higher order interaction along with the traditional pairwise interaction. We also introduce asymmetry parameters in both the interaction terms and investigate the…
Domain walls in equilibrium phase transitions propagate in a preferred direction so as to minimize the free energy of the system. As a result, initial spatio-temporal patterns ultimately decay toward uniform states. The absence of a…
Focusing on a two-field Swift-Hohenberg model with linear nonreciprocal interactions, this study investigates how emerging higher-codimension points act as organizing centers for the nonequilibrium phase diagram that features various steady…
Three-wave interactions form the basis of our understanding of many pattern forming systems because they encapsulate the most basic nonlinear interactions. In problems with two comparable length scales, it is possible for two waves of the…
In pattern-forming systems, competition between patterns with different wave numbers can lead to domain structures, which consist of regions with differing wave numbers separated by domain walls. For domain structures well above threshold…
For the past two hundred years, parametric instabilities have been studied in various physical systems, such as fluids, mechanical devices and even inflationary cosmology. It was not until a few decades ago that this subharmonic unstable…
The effect of external fluctuations on the formation of spatial patterns is analysed by means of a stochastic Swift-Hohenberg model with multiplicative space-correlated noise. Numerical simulations in two dimensions show a shift of the…
The propagation of wave disturbances over a vertically oscillating liquid may form standing waves, known as Faraday waves. Here we present an alternative description of the generation and evolution of Faraday waves by nonlinear resonant…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a well-understood mechanism for generating distinct phases of matter. Recently, the notion of symmetry has been broadened to include operations without inverses, leading to the concept of non-invertible…
The dynamics of hexagon patterns in rotating systems are investigated within the framework of modified Swift-Hohenberg equations that can be considered as simple models for rotating convection with broken up-down symmetry, e.g.…
We report the first experimental realization of pattern formation in a spatially extended nonlinear system when the system is alternated between two states, neither of which exhibits patterning. Dynamical equations modeling the system are…
In pattern-forming systems, localized patterns are readily found when stable patterns exist at the same parameter values as the stable unpatterned state. Oscillons are spatially localized, time-periodic structures, which have been found…
We show that, in periodically perturbed chaotic systems, Phase Synchronization appears, associated to a special type of stroboscopic map, in which not only averages quantities are equal to invariants of the perturbation, the angular…
Different types of ordering phenomena may occur during phase transitions, described within the universal framework of the Landau theory through the evolution of one, or several, symmetry-breaking order parameter h. In addition, many systems…
