Solutions of the general cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation comprising multiple spiral waves are considered. For parameters close to the vortex limit, and for a system of spiral waves with well-separated centres, laws of motion of the centres are found which vary depending on the order of magnitude of the separation of the centres. In particular, the direction of the interaction changes from along the line of centres to perpendicular to the line of centres as the separation increases, with the strength of the interaction algebraic at small separations and exponentially small at large separations. The corresponding asymptotic wavenumber and frequency are determined. These depend on the positions of the centres of the spirals, and so evolve slowly as the spirals move.

Multiple-spiral-wave solutions of the general cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in bounded domains are considered. We investigate the effect of the boundaries on spiral motion under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions, for small values of the twist parameter $q$. We derive explicit laws of motion for rectangular domains and we show that the motion of spirals becomes exponentially slow when the twist parameter exceeds a critical value depending on the size of the domain. The oscillation frequency of multiple-spiral patterns is also analytically obtained.
After a brief introduction to the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, some of its important features in two space dimensions are reviewed. A comprehensive study of the various phases observed numerically in large systems over the whole parameter space is then presented. The nature of the transitions between these phases is investigated and some theoretical problems linked to the phase diagram are discussed.
In the present work we illustrate that classical but nonlinear systems may possess features reminiscent of quantum ones, such as memory, upon suitable external perturbation. As our prototypical example, we use the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in its vortex glass regime. We impose an external drive as a perturbation mimicking a quantum measurement protocol, with a given measurement rate (the rate of repetition of the drive) and mixing rate (characterized by the intensity of the drive). Using a variety of measures, we find that the system may or may not retain its coherence, statistically retrieving its original glass state, depending on the strength and periodicity of the perturbing field. The corresponding parametric regimes and the associated energy cascade mechanisms involving the dynamics of vortex waveforms and domain boundaries are discussed.
It was recently shown [V.V. Cherny, T. Byrnes, A.N. Pyrkov, textit{Adv. Quantum Technol.} textbf{2019} textit{2}, 1800087] that the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a simplified dissipative perturbation of special kind features a zero-velocity solitonic solution of non-zero amplitude which can be used in analogy to attractors of Hopfields associative memory. In this work, we consider a more complex dissipative perturbation adding the effect of two-photon absorption and the quintic gain/loss effects that yields formally the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE). We construct a perturbation theory for the CGLE with a small dissipative perturbation and define the behavior of the solitonic solutions with parameters of the system and compare the solution with numerical simulations of the CGLE. We show that similarly to the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a simplified dissipation term, a zero-velocity solitonic solution of non-zero amplitude appears as an attractor for the CGLE. In this case the amplitude and velocity of the solitonic fixed point attractor does not depend on the quintic gain/loss effects. Furthermore, the effect of two-photon absorption leads to an increase in the strength of the solitonic fixed point attractor.
In this chapter we review recent results concerning localized and extended dissipative solutions of the discrete complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. In particular, we discuss discrete diffraction effects arising both from linear and nonlinear properties, the existence of self-localized dissipative solitons in the presence of cubic-quintic terms and modulational instability induced by saturable nonlinearities. Dynamical stability properties of localized and extended dissipative discrete solitons are also discussed.
