The Nikolaevskiy equation has been proposed as a model for seismic waves, electroconvection and weak turbulence; we show that it can also be used to model transverse instabilities of fronts. This equation possesses a large-scale Goldstone mode that significantly influences the stability of spatially periodic steady solutions; indeed, all such solutions are unstable at onset, and the equation exhibits so-called soft-mode turbulence. In many applications, a weak damping of this neutral mode will be present, and we study the influence of this damping on solutions to the Nikolaevskiy equation. We examine the transition to the usual Eckhaus instability as the damping of the large-scale mode is increased, through numerical calculation and weakly nonlinear analysis. The latter is accomplished using asymptotically consistent systems of coupled amplitude equations. We find that there is a critical value of the damping below which (for a given value of the supercriticality parameter) all periodic steady states are unstable. The last solutions to lose stability lie in a cusp close to the left-hand side of the marginal stability curve.
Morphogenetic patterns are highly sophisticated dissipative structures. Are they governed by the same general mechanisms as chemical and hydrodynamic patterns? Turings symmetry breaking and Wolperts signalling provide alternative mechanisms. The curr
Self-organization, the ability of a system of microscopically interacting entities to shape macroscopically ordered structures, is ubiquitous in Nature. Spatio-temporal patterns are abundantly observed in a large plethora of applications, encompassin
We explain some pde2path setups for pattern formation in 1D, 2D and 3D. A focus is on new pde2path functions for branch switching at steady bifurcation points of higher multiplicity, typically due to discrete symmetries, but we also review general co
Pattern formation in systems with a conserved quantity is considered by studying the appropriate amplitude equations. The conservation law leads to a large-scale neutral mode that must be included in the asymptotic analysis for pattern formation near
The surface pattern formation on a gelation surface is analyzed using an effective surface roughness. The spontaneous surface deformation on DiMethylAcrylAmide (DMAA) gelation surface is controlled by temperature, initiator concentration, and ambient
