We study the effect of external harmonic forcing on a one-dimensional complex Ginzburg–Landau equation (CGLE). For a sufficiently large forcing amplitude, a homogeneous state with no spatial structure is observed. As the forcing amplitude decreases, the state becomes unstable, forming a...

We present numerical results on a stochastic population dynamics model with reproduction rates depending on the density of particles in a neighborhood. In order to investigate the role of fluctuations some characteristics of the model are compared with those computed from its deterministic...

The relationship between lag synchronization and pattern formation is investigated in this article by taking networked dynamics as spatio–temporal models. Firstly some results in two-dimensional open flow models with unidirectional coupling term are presented, and sufficient conditions for...

Our experiments on a vertically oscillated granular layer reveal that spatial patterns emerge in two stages following a change of parameter into the pattern-forming regime: an initial, domain-forming stage and a later stage in which domains coarsen to form ultimately an extended regular pattern....

A pattern-formation mechanism driven by attractive forces—previously studied in the context of lateral interactions between adsorbates—is reassessed through a simplified model. In its original version, such a mechanism needed an additional chemical reaction to stabilize the pattern....

Bacterial species Bacillus subtilis is known to exhibit various colony patterns, depending on the substrate softness and nutrient concentration. We have examined the self-affinity and roughness exponent α for growing interfaces of colonies which belong to regions B (Eden-like) and D (disk-like)...

The nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation with a different potential that satisfies the degeneracy properties discussed in this paper possesses solitonic solutions that interact with long-range forces. We generalize the Ginzburg–Landau equation in such a way that the topological defects supported...

We analyze here a model for an adsorbate system composed of many layers by extending a theoretical approach used to describe pattern formation on a monolayer of adsorbates with lateral interactions. The approach shows, in addition to a first-order phase transition in the first layer, a...

The surface profiles resulting from a laser beam melt ablation process have been quantified on the basis of the multifractal formalism. The multifractal spectra for several parameters sets, obtained with the wavelet transform modulus maxima method, were found to change towards higher Hölder...

Ecological systems are complex assemblies of large numbers of individuals, interacting competitively under multifaceted environmental conditions. Recent studies using microbial laboratory communities have revealed some of the self-organization principles underneath the complexity of these...
