Cubic-quintic Swift–Hohenberg amplitude reduction
ID: cubic-quintic-swift-hohenberg-amplitude-reduction
In the mildly subcritical Swift–Hohenberg equation, set , and . The nonlinear and growth terms first balance at order , so . Quadratic detuning of the critical Fourier growth rate gives . At order , projection onto the kernel of the self-adjoint fast operator requires the resonant forcing to vanish. The cubic and quintic resonances have coefficients and , while the operator expansion gives . Thus .
