Abstract

The Ginzburg-Landau equation has been used as a mathematical model for various pattern formation systems in mechanics, physics and chemistry. In this paper, we study the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in two spatial dimensions with periodical boundary conditions. The method numerically approximates the solution by collocation method based on radial basis functions (RBFs). To improve the numerical results we use a predictor-corrector scheme. The results of numerical experiments are presented, and are compared with analytical solutions to confirm the accuracy and efficiency of the presented method.
