Pattern Selection in Anisotropic Systems

  • Conference paper
The Physics of Structure Formation

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Synergetics ((SSSYN,volume 37))

Abstract

We examine the possible stationary patterns and their stability slightly above threshold in systems that are extended in two dimensions and possess an axial anisotropy. The universal amplitude equations used show interesting defect solutions which are discussed briefly. The connection to various experimental systems, such as electrohydrodynamic convection in liquid crystals, is outlined.
