Planforms in two and three dimensions (Q1185473)

The main result of this paper, is a partial classification of periodic solutions for some systems of partial differential equations with Euclidean symmetry. The authors use group theoretic techniques to determine a large class of spatially doubly periodic solutions that are forced to exist near a steady-state bifurcation from a translation- invariant equilibrium. They extend the methods used to triply periodic solutions of partial differential equations with three spatial variables.
