Abstract:

We investigate the effect of spatial inhomogeneity on perfectly periodic, self-organized striped patterns in spatially extended systems. We demonstrate that inhomogeneities select a specific translate of the striped patterns and induce algebraically decaying, dipole-type farfield deformations. Phase shifts and leading order terms are determined by effective moments of the spatial inhomogeneity. Farfield decay is proportional to the derivatives of the Green’s function of an effective Laplacian. Technically, we use mode filters and conjugacies to an effective Laplacian to establish Fredholm properties of the linearization in Kondratiev spaces. Spatial localization in a contraction argument is gained through the use of an explicit deformation ansatz and a subtle cancellation in Bloch wave space.
