Entrainment of a spatially extended nonlinear structure under selective forcing.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The response of a nonlinear state to a variable forcing periodic in space is studied in an extended dynamical system consisting of a liquid crystal layer driven to convection. Both the statics and the dynamics of the entrainment and the locking effects are analyzed. The dynamics of the evolution are controlled by topological singularities that allow a diffusion of the phase. The mechanisms involved are related to the role of the defects in systems undergoing spontaneous symmetry breakings.

Entrainment of marginally stable excitation waves by spatially extended sub-threshold periodic forcing
We introduce a novel approach of stabilizing the dynamics of excitation waves by spatially extended sub-threshold periodic forcing. Entrainment of unstable primary waves has been studied numerically for different amplitudes and frequencies of additional sub-threshold stimuli. We determined entrainment regimes under which excitation blocks were transformed into consistent 1:1 responses. These re...
متن کاملPattern formation in 4:1 resonance of the periodically forced CO oxidation on Pt(110).
Periodically forced oscillatory reaction-diffusion systems may show complex spatiotemporal patterns. At high-frequency resonant forcing, multiple-phase patterns can be found. In the present work, the dynamics of turbulent CO oxidation on Pt(110), forced with the fourth harmonic of the system's natural frequency, is investigated. Experiments result in subharmonic entrainment, where the system lo...
متن کاملPhase Dynamics for Nonlinear Dissipative Waves under External and Feedback Control
We study dynamics of traveling waves under spatiotemporal forcing in non-equilibrium systems. Based on the model equations of nonlinear dissipative systems where traveling waves are formed in a self-organized manner, we apply external and feedback forcing to the traveling waves. Entrainment and modulation of the traveling waves are investigated numerically and analytically in one dimension. In ...
متن کاملGravity wave turbulence revealed by horizontal vibrations of the container.
We experimentally study the role of forcing on gravity-capillary wave turbulence. Previous laboratory experiments using spatially localized forcing (vibrating blades) have shown that the frequency power-law exponent of the gravity wave spectrum depends on the forcing parameters. By horizontally vibrating the whole container, we observe a spectrum exponent that does not depend on the forcing par...
متن کاملSelective Tone Reservation Method for PAPR Reduction of Spatially Multiplexed OFDM Systems
Tone Reservation (TR) is one of the well-known methods for PAPR reduction of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In this method some sub-carriers are reserved for PAPR reduction and the symbols in these sub-carriers are selected such that the PAPR of the OFDM frame is minimized. In this paper, the iterative algorithm introduced earlier for TR method in single antenna OFDM...
