Spatially localized oscillations in periodically forced systems are intriguing phenomena. They may occur in spatially homogeneous media (oscillons), but quite often emerge in heterogeneous media, such as the auditory system, where localized oscillations are believed to play an important role in frequency discrimination of incoming sound waves. In this paper, we use an amplitude-equation approach to study the spatial profile of the oscillations and the factors that affect it. More specifically, we use a variant of the forced complex Ginzburg-Landau (FCGL) equation to describes an oscillatory system below the Hopf bifurcation with space-dependent Hopf frequency, subject to both parametric and additive forcing. We show that spatial heterogeneity, combined with bistability of system states, results in spatial asymmetry of the localized oscillations. We further identify parameters that control that asymmetry, and characterize the spatial profile of the oscillations in terms of maximum amplitude, location, width and asymmetry. Our results bear qualitative similarities to empirical observation trends that have found in the auditory system.
Frequency locking in forced oscillatory systems typically occurs in V-shaped domains in the plane spanned by the forcing frequency and amplitude, the so-called Arnold tongues. Here, we show that if the medium is spatially extended and monotonically h
The problem of stability and spectrum of linear excitations of a soliton (kink) of the dispersive sine-Gordon and $varphi^4$ - equations is solved exactly. It is shown that the total spectrum consists of a discrete set of frequencies of internal mode
Imbibition plays a central role in diverse energy, environmental, and industrial processes. In many cases, the medium has multiple parallel strata of different permeabilities; however, how this stratification impacts imbibition is poorly understood.
The emergence of localised vibrations in cyclic and symmetric rotating structures, such as bladed disks of aircraft engines, has challenged engineers in the past few decades. In the linear regime, localised states may arise due to a lack of symmetry,
We report on the experimental study of an optically driven multimode semiconductor laser with 1~m cavity length. We observed a spatiotemporal regime where real time measurements reveal very high intensity peaks in the laser field. Such a regime, whic
