Traveling pulse on a periodic background in parametrically driven systems

Artículo de publicación ISIMacroscopic systems with dissipation and time-modulated injection of energy, parametrically driven systems, can self-organize into localized states and/or patterns. We investigate a pulse that travels over a one-dimensional pattern in parametrically driven systems. Based on a minimal prototype model, we show that the pulses emerge through a subcritical Andronov-Hopf bifurcation of the underlying pattern.We describe a simple physical system, a magnetic wire forced with a transverse oscillatory magnetic field, which displays these traveling pulses.FONDECYT Project No. 1150507; of Ministry of Higher Education and Research, Nord-Pas de Calais Regional Council and ERDF through the CPER 2007- 2013 and ANR LABEX CEMPI project (ANR- 11-LABX-0007
