Pathological ?: Retracting Fronts
Pathological ?: Retracting Fronts
) Spatially extended systems, predominantly qc (standard!) General discussion: wave number band (phase waves) etc. Solutions in 1D: coherent structures (localised states, fronts,
Retracting Fronts, phase chaos and defect chaos) 6. Solutions in 2D (and maybe 3D) vortices and spirals, chaos
Poincare considered the problem too trivial to write down. Andronov & Leontovich did it in the plane ( ~1938). Hopf generalized it to many dergrees of freedom (1942).
