Nonlocal Ginzburg-Landau equation for cortical pattern formation.
We show how a nonlocal version of the real Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equation arises in a large-scale recurrent network model of primary visual cortex. We treat cortex as a continuous two-dimensional sheet of cells that signal both the position and orientation of a local visual stimulus. The recurrent circuitry is decomposed into a local part, which contributes primarily to the orientation tuning pr...
متن کاملThe nonlocal bistable equation : Stationary solutions on a bounded interval ∗
We discuss instability and existence issues for the nonlocal bistable equation. This model arises as the Euler-Lagrange equation of a nonlocal, van der Waals type functional. Taking the viewpoint of the calculus of variations, we prove that for a class of nonlocalities this functional does not admit nonconstant C local minimizers. By taking variations along nonsmooth paths, we give examples of ...
متن کاملMultiple Layered Solutions of the Nonlocal Bistable Equation
The nonlocal bistable equation is a model proposed recently to study materials whose constitutive relations among the variables that describe their states are nonlocal. It resembles the local bistable equation (the Allen-Cahn equation) in some way, but contains a much richer set of solutions. In this paper we consider two types of solutions. The first are the periodic solutions on a finite inte...
متن کاملPulses and waves for a bistable nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation
A bistable nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation is studied. Solutions in the form of simple and periodic travelling waves, single and multiple pulses are observed in numerical simulations. Successive transitions from simple waves to periodic waves and to stable pulses are described.
متن کاملPattern formation in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with competing nonlocal nonlinearities
We study beam propagation in the framework of the nonlinear Schrödinger equationwith competing Gaussian nonlocal nonlinearities. We demonstrate that such system can give rise to self-organization of light into stable states of trains or hexagonal arrays of laments, depending on the transverse dimensionality. This long-range ordering can be achieved bymere unidirectional beampropagation. We disc...
