Localized patterns in planar bistable weakly coupled lattice systems

Abstract
Localized planar patterns in spatially extended bistable systems are known to exist along intricate bifurcation diagrams, which are commonly referred to as snaking curves. Their analysis is challenging as techniques such as spatial dynamics that have been used to explain snaking in one space dimension no longer work in the planar case. Here, we consider bistable systems posed on square lattices and provide an analytical explanation of snaking near the anti-continuum limit using Lyapunov--Schmidt reduction. We also establish stability results for localized patterns, discuss bifurcations to asymmetric states, and provide further numerical evidence that the shape of snaking curves changes drastically as the coefficient that reflects the strength of the spatial coupling crosses a finite threshold.
arXiv commentThis paper has been published in Nonlinearity volume 33 in 2020. We just wanted to make sure a preprint was available here as well
