A quantitative description of the relaxation of textured patterns

From MaRDI portal





In this paper physical structural properties of some textured patterns are discussed; these patterns can be observed when the initial states from which they evolve are not controlled. These patterns can be described by a scalar field \(v(x)\) which is smooth except perhaps at the defect cores. The significant feature of these patterns is that they are locally striped (in a suitable neighborhood \(v(x)\sim \sin (kx)\), where the modulus \(k_0\) of the wave vector \(k\) does not vary significantly over the pattern). Structures generated in experiments and model systems include higher harmonics due to the presence of nonlinearities in the underlying system. This discussion is based on a disorder function \(\delta(\beta)\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0919.00083].
