Reduced-order models of the nonlinear Complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equation are computed using a nonlinear generalization of balanced truncation. The method involves Galerkin projection of the nonlinear dynamics onto modes determined by balanced truncation of a linearized system, and is compared to a standard method using projection onto Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) modes computed fro...

A method is presented which results in low-dimensional dynamical systems for situations in which low-dimensional attractors are known to exist. The method is based on the use of the Karhunen-Loeve procedure for the determination of an optimal basis and the subsequent use of the Galerkin procedure to generate the dynamical system. The method is applied to two problems for the Ginzburg-Landau equ...

We introduce a spatially localized inhomogeneity into the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. We observe that this can produce two types of target wave patterns: stationary and breathing. In both cases, far from the target center, the field variables correspond to an outward propagating periodic traveling wave. In the breathing case, however, the region in the vicinity of the targ...

A method of finding relative periodic orbits for differential equations with continuous symmetries is described and its utility demonstrated by computing relative periodic solutions for the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) with periodic boundary conditions. A relative periodic solution is a solution that is periodic in time, up to a transformation by an element of the equ...

We study in this paper the bifurcation and stability of the solutions of the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation(CGLE). We investigate two different modes of CGLE. We study the first mode of CGLE which has only cubic unstable nonlinear term and later we also study the second mode of CGLE which has both cubic and quintic nonlinear terms. The solutions considered in cubic CGLE bifurcate from the tri...

We study the dynamics of the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg Landau equation (CGLE) in the regime where holes and defects organize themselves into composite superstructures which we call zigzags. Extensive numerical simulations of the CGLE reveal a wide range of dynamical zigzag behavior which we summarize in a “phase diagram”. We have performed a numerical linear stability and bifurcation ana...

It is well known that pulselike solutions of the cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation are unstable but can be stabilized by the addition of quintic terms. In this paper we explore an alternative mechanism where the role of the stabilizing agent is played by the parametric driver. Our analysis is based on the numerical continuation of solutions in one of the parameters of the Ginzburg-Landau e...

This review presents a framework for the input-output analysis, model reduction and control design for fluid dynamical systems using examples applied to the linear complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. Major advances in hydrodynamics stability, such as global modes in spatially inhomogeneous systems and transient growth of non-normal systems is reviewed. Input-output analysis generalizes hydrodynam...

The recent findings confirm that bacteria communicate each other through chemical and electrical signals. Bacteria use chemical signaling molecules which are called as quorum sensing molecules( QSMs) or autoinducers. Moreover, the ion channels in bacteria conduct a long-range electrical signaling within biofilm communities through propagated waves of potassium ions and biofilms attracts other b...

The phenomenon of time-periodic evolution of spatial chaos is investigated in the frames of oneand two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equations. It is found that there exists a region of the parameters in which disordered spatial distribution of the field behaves periodically in time; the boundaries of this region are determined. The transition to the regime of spatiotemporal chaos is inve...
