 Directly forced cubic amplitude equation

A forcing at the carrier wavenumber breaks continuous spatial translation symmetry and adds a constant to its complex amplitude equation. In a frame following a moving forcing pattern, its phase drift gives $i\Lambda A$. A nonzero forcing coefficient is normalized to one by scaling amplitude by its cube root and time by its two-thirds power. A steady intensity $s=|A{|}^2$ satisfies $s[(\mu -s{)}^2+{\Lambda }^2]=1$, and its phase is uniquely determined by the steady complex equation.
