A generalized Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation: global existence and stability results

Abstract: We consider the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with two pure-power nonlinearities and a damping term. After proving a general global existence result, we focus on the existence and stability of several periodic orbits, namely the trivial equilibrium, bound-states and solutions independent of the spatial variable. In particular, we construct bound-states either explicitly in the real line or through a bifurcation argument for a double eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplace operator on bounded domains.
