Transitions Between Patterns of Different Symmetries

  • Chapter
Instabilities and Nonequilibrium Structures III

Part of the book series: Mathematics and Its Applications ((MAIA,volume 64))

Abstract

Beyond various pattern forming instabilities structures with different symmetries may be simultaneously stable. Several aspects of the transitions between such structures are studied in the framework of amplitude equations of the Ginzburg-Landau type. In particular, it is shown how boundary effects, external fields and internal fluctuations may affect these transitions. The relevance of these effects to specific experimental problems is discussed.
