TLDR
In this article, the stability analysis of spatially periodic patterns under general nonperiodic perturbations is studied and a condition on the amplitude and the wave number of the rolls is derived.
Abstract
We develop a method for the stability analysis of bifurcating spatially periodic patterns under general nonperiodic perturbations. In particular, it enables us to detect sideband instabilities. We treat in all detail the stability question of roll solutions in the two–dimensional Swift–Hohenberg equation and derive a condition on the amplitude and the wave number of the rolls which is necessary and sufficent for stability. Moreover, we characterize the set of those wave vectors which give rise to unstable perturbations. Dedicated to Professor K. Kirchgassner on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday

Stability of Travelling Waves

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of various aspects related to the spectral and nonlinear stability of travelling-wave solutions to partial differential equations is given, including the point and essential spectrum of the linearization about a travelling wave, the relation between these spectra, Fredholm properties, and the existence of exponential dichotomies for the linear operator.

Localized Hexagon Patterns of the Planar Swift–Hohenberg Equation

TL;DR: It is found that stationary spatially localized hexagon patterns of the two-dimensional (2D) Swift–Hohenberg equation exhibit snaking: for each parameter value in the snaking region, an infinite number of patterns exist that are connected in parameter space and whose width increases without bound.

Snakes, ladders, and isolas of localized patterns

TL;DR: It is shown that both snaking of symmetric pulses and the ladder structure of asymmetric states can be predicted completely from the bifurcation structure of fronts that connect the trivial state to rolls.

The Ginzburg-Landau Equation in Its Role as a Modulation Equation

TL;DR: The Ginzburg-Landau Equation (GLe) as discussed by the authors is a modulation equation that is a normal form of a bifurcation equation in the context of weakly unstable systems when continuous spectrum moves over the imaginary axis.

Instabilities and fronts in extended systems

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic account of the mathematics connected with infinite space domains is given, with a coherent description of several problems in which instabilities occur, notably the Eckhaus instability and the formation of fronts in the Swift-Hohenberg equation.

Attractors for modulation equations on unbounded domains-existence and comparison

Alexander Mielke, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1995 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the long-time behavior of nonlinear parabolic PDEs defined on unbounded cylindrical domains and developed an abstract theorem based on the interaction of a uniform and a localizing norm which allowed them to define global attractors for some dissipative problems.
