A systematic analysis of the Eckhaus instability in the one-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau equation is presented. The analysis is based on numerical integration of the equation in a large (xt)-domain. The initial conditions correspond to a…
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…
We present numerical simulations of coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations describing parametrically excited waves which reveal persistent dynamics due to the occurrence of phase slips in sequential pairs, with the second phase slip quickly…
We study the Complex Ginzburg--Landau initial value problem $\partial_t u=(1+i\alpha) \partial_x^2 u + u - (1+i\beta) u |u|^2$, $u(x,0)=u_0(x)$ for a complex field $u\in{\bf C}$, with $\alpha,\beta\in{\bf R}$. We consider the Benjamin--Feir…
It is known that the Swift-Hohenberg equation $\partial u/\partial t = -(\partial_x^2 + 1)^2u + \varepsilon (u-u^3)$ can be reduced to the Ginzburg-Landau equation (amplitude equation) $\partial A/\partial t = 4\partial_x^2 A + \varepsilon…
The real Ginzburg-Landau equation possesses a family of spatially periodic equilibria. If the wave number of an equilibrium is strictly below the so called Eckhaus boundary the equilibrium is known to be spectrally and diffusively stable,…
We consider phase turbulent regimes with nonzero winding number in the one-dimensional Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. We find that phase turbulent states with winding number larger than a critical one are only transients and decay to…
We investigate the behavior of a mesoscopic one-dimensional ring in an external magnetic field by simulating the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations with periodic boundary conditions. We analyze the stability and the different possible…
We consider front solutions of the Swift-Hohenberg equation $\partial_t u= -(1+\partial_x^2)^2 u +\epsilon ^2 u -u^3$. These are traveling waves which leave in their wake a periodic pattern in the laboratory frame. Using renormalization…
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…
The raise of the symmetry breaking mechanism by Landau[1] is a landmark in the studies of phase transitions. The Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition[2-3] and the fractional quantum Hall effect[4], however, are believed to be induced by…
We study the nature of the instability of the homogeneous steady states of the subcritical Ginzburg-Landau equation in the presence of group velocity. The shift of the absolute instability threshold of the trivial steady state, induced by…
The cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is one of the most-studied nonlinear equations in the physics community. It describes a vast variety of phenomena from nonlinear waves to second-order phase transitions, from superconductivity,…
Using some classical methods of dynamical systems, stability results and asymptotic decay of strong solutions for the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGL), $$ \partial_t u = (a + i\alpha) \Delta u - (b + i \beta) |u|^\sigma u + k u, \,\,…
We study the effect of fluctuations in the vicinity of an Eckhaus instability. The classical stability limit, which is defined in the absence of fluctuations, is smeared out into a region in which fluctuations and nonlinearities dominate…
We consider the stochastic Swift-Hohenberg equation on a large domain near its change of stability. We show that, under the appropriate scaling, its solutions can be approximated by a periodic wave, which is modulated by the solutions to a…
We analyze the Eckhaus instability of plane waves in the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) and describe the nonlinear effects arising in the Eckhaus unstable regime. Modulated amplitude waves (MAWs) are quasi-periodic…
We consider a model proposed earlier by us for describing a form of plastic instability found in creep experiments . The model consists of three types of dislocations and some transformations between them. The model is known to reproduce a…
We are interested in reaction-diffusion systems, with a conservation law, exhibiting a Hopf bifurcation at the spatial wave number $k = 0$. With the help of a multiple scaling perturbation ansatz a Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled to a…
In this paper we describe invariant geometrical ~structures in the phase space of the Swift-Hohenberg equation in a neighborhood of its periodic stationary states. We show that in spite of the fact that these states are only marginally…
