Periodic solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equation (Q1089496): Difference between revisions

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 of spatial bifurcations.
