Abstract:
The Ising-Bloch transition for domain walls in spatially extended nonlinear systems is a known phenomenon. We show a similar transition for extended patterns, such as labyrinths and stripes. The analysis is performed in the frame of the parametrically driven Ginzburg-Landau equation, which is a paradigmatic model for a variety on nonlinear systems showing the Ising-Bloch transition of domain walls.

Thermal Sigmatropic Reactions: Overview
Sigmatropic shifts are classified based on an order term [i, j ], where i and j indicate the number of atoms across which each end of the σ bond migrates. Below are examples of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift in 1,5-hexadiene, referred to as...
