Localized structures in coupled Ginzburg--Landau equations by Raul Montagne and Emilio Hernandez-Garcia ABSTRACT: Coupled Complex Ginzburg-Landau equations describe generic features of the dynamics of coupled fields when they are close to a Hopf bifurcation leading to nonlinear oscillations. We study numerically this set of equations and find, within a particular range of parameters, the presence of uniformly propagating localized objects behaving as coherent structures. Some of these localized objects are interpreted in terms of exact analytical solutions. The file tolanl.tex is the main latex file, which calls in the 3 postscript figures (fig197c1.ps, fig297c1.ps, and figr2297c1.ps), and uses the style elsart.cls. fig297c1.large.ps is a higher resolution version of fig297c1.ps. The full paper, figures included, is in tolanl.ps .
