Ginzburg-Landau amplitude equation for nonlinear nonlocal models
arXiv:2007.06383 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.103.022210
Abstract
Regular spatial structures emerge in a wide range of different dynamics characterized by local and/or nonlocal coupling terms. In several research fields this has spurred the study of many models, which can explain pattern formation. The modulations of patterns, occurring on long spatial and temporal scales, can not be captured by linear approximation analysis. Here, we show that, starting from a general model with long range couplings displaying patterns, the spatio-temporal evolution of large scale modulations at the onset of instability is ruled by the well-known Ginzburg-Landau equation, independently of the details of the dynamics. Hence, we demonstrate the validity of such equation in the description of the behavior of a wide class of systems. We introduce a novel mathematical framework that is also able to retrieve the analytical expressions of the coefficients appearing in the Ginzburg-Landau equation as functions of the model parameters. Such framework can include higher order nonlocal interactions and has much larger applicability than the model considered here, possibly including pattern formation in models with very different physical features.
