Abstract

The anisotropic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (ACGLE) describes slow modulations of patterns in anisotropic spatially extended systems near oscillatory (Hopf) instabilities with zero wavenumbers. Traveling wave solutions to the ACGLE become unstable near Benjamin-Feir-Newell instabilities. We determine two instability conditions in parameter space and study codimension-one (-two) bifurcations that occur if one (two) of the conditions is (are) met. We derive anisotropic Kuramoto-Sivashinsky-type equations that govern the phase of the complex solutions to the ACGLE and generate solutions to the ACGLE from solutions of the phase equations.
