Nonlinear Diffusion Control of Spatiotemporal Chaos in the Complex Ginzburg Landau Equation

Raul Montagne and Pere Colet

Physical Review E, 56, 4017-4024 (1997).

The role of nonlinear diffusion terms in the stability of periodic solutions in the regime of spatio temporal chaos is studied. The stabilization of unstable plane waves in the Complex Ginzburg Landau equation in weakly chaotic regimes such as phase turbulence and spatiotemporal intermittency or in strong chaotic ones like defect turbulence is demonstrated.
