Abstract

This chapter focuses on pattern formation, both extended and localized, in driven dissipative systems. The origin of localized states and their organization into a snakes-and-ladders structure is explained and the results illustrated with several examples drawn from the physical sciences. The corresponding results for systems with a conserved quantity are described, focusing on crystallization from a supercooled melt via a propagating crystallization front. Unsolved questions are highlighted throughout.
