Localised solutions of the parametrically driven Ginzburg-Landau and nonlinear Schrӧdinger equations
type: CreativeWork
description: This thesis deals with localised solutions of the parametrically driven Ginzburg-Landau equation and its nonlinear Schrӧdinger limit. We begin with a detailed analysis of the Faraday Resonance experiment, in which the driven complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) arises, and an examination of how the CGLE appears as the amplitude equation for the modes excited near a Hopf bifurcation.
