Area of Science:

• Complex systems
• Nonlinear dynamics
• Mathematical physics

Background:

• The two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation models various physical phenomena.
• Understanding nonequilibrium dynamics is crucial for characterizing complex systems.
• Spiral defects play a significant role in pattern formation and evolution.

Purpose of the Study:
