Nonlinear Analysis of the Eckhaus Instability: Modulated Amplitude Waves and Phase Chaos with Non-zero Average Phase Gradient
Lutz Brusch, Alessandro Torcini, Markus Baer
We analyze the Eckhaus instability of plane waves in the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) and describe the nonlinear effects arising in the Eckhaus unstable…
Coarsening process in one-dimensional surface growth models
Alessandro Torcini, Paolo Politi
Surface growth models may give rise to unstable growth with mound formation whose tipical linear size L increases in time. In one dimensional systems coarsening is generally driven…
Front Propagation in Chaotic and Noisy Reaction-Diffusion Systems: a Discrete-Time Map Approach
Alessandro Torcini, Angelo Vulpiani, Andrea Rocco
We study the front propagation in Reaction-Diffusion systems whose reaction dynamics exhibits an unstable fixed point and chaotic or noisy behaviour. We have examined the influence…
Modulated Amplitude Waves and Defect Formation in the One-Dimensional Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation
Lutz Brusch, Alessandro Torcini, Martin van Hecke +2
The transition from phase chaos to defect chaos in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) is related to saddle-node bifurcations of modulated amplitude waves (MAWs). First, th…
A dynamical approach to protein folding
Alessandro Torcini, Roberto Livi, Antonio Politi
In this paper we show that a dynamical description of the protein folding process provides an effective representation of equilibrium properties and it allows for a direct investig…
