Abstract

A nonvariational Ginzburg-Landau equation with quintic and space-dependent cubic terms is investigated. It is found that the equation permits both sub- and supercritical zigzag and Eckhaus instabilities and further that the zigzag instability may occur for patterns with wave number larger than critical (q > 0), in contrast to the usual case.
