Optical-fiber transmission of pulses can be modeled with the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation. We find novel stable soliton pairs and trains, which are relevant in this case, and analyze them. We suggest that the distance between the pulses and the phase difference between them is defined by energy and momentum balance equations, rather than by equations of standard perturbation theory. We pres...

We present evidence for a deep connection between the zero-temperature coarsening of both the two-dimensional time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation and the kinetic Ising model with critical continuum percolation. In addition to reaching the ground state, the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation and kinetic Ising model can fall into a variety of topologically distinct metastable stripe stat...

In this paper we study the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau equation of the Schrödinger type in two dimensions. The initial conditions are chosen to describe several well-separated vortices. Our task is to understand the vortex structure of the corresponding solutions as well as corrections due to radiation. To this end we develop the nonlinear adiabatic theory. Using the methods of effective act...

Spatially periodic solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau equation are considered. In particular we obtain: criteria for primary and secondary bifurcation; limit cycle solutions; nonlinear dispersion relations relating spatial and temporal frequencies. Only relatively simple tools appear in the treatment and as a result a wide range of parameter cases are considered. Finally we briefly treat the case...

In dimension three, we establish the existence of weak solutions {u,H,E} to the Landau-Lifshitz equation (1.1) coupled with the time-dependent Maxwell equation (1.2)-(1.3) such that u is Hölder continuous away from a closed set Σ, which has locally finite 3-dimensional parabolic Hausdorff measure. For two reduced Maxwell equations (1.17) and (1.18), Hölder continuity of ∇u away from Σ is also e...

We study in this article the bifurcation and stability of the solutions of the Ginzburg–Landau equation, using a notion of bifurcation called attractor bifurcation. We obtain in particular a full classification of the bifurcated attractor and the global attractor as λ crosses the first critical value of the linear problem. Bifurcations from the rest of the eigenvalues of the linear problem are ...

Equations built on fractional derivatives prove to be a powerful tool in the description of complex systems when the effects of singularity, fractal supports, and long-range dependence play a role. In this paper, we advocate an application of the fractional derivative formalism to a fairly general class of critical phenomena when the organization of the system near the phase transition point is...

The Ginzburg–Landau equation has been used as a mathematical model for various pattern formation systems in mechanics, physics and chemistry. In this paper, we study the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation in two spatial dimensions with periodical boundary conditions. The method numerically approximates the solution by collocation method based on radial basis functions (RBFs). To improve the numer...

We study a parametrically driven Ginzburg-Landau equation model with nonlinear management. The system is made of laterally coupled long active waveguides placed along a circumference. Stationary solutions of three kinds are found: periodic Ising states and two types of Bloch states, staggered and unstaggered. The stability of these states is investigated analytically and numerically. The nonlin...

abstract We present fast numerical algorithms to solve the non linear Fokker-Planck-Landau equation in 3-D velocity space. The discretization of the collision operator preserves the properties required by the physical nature of the Fokker-Planck-Landau equation, such as the conservation of mass, momentum and energy, the decay of the entropy, and the fact that the steady states are Maxwellians. ...
