The paper “Global bifurcation of localised 2D patterns emerging from spatial heterogeneity“, co-authored by Dan Hill (Oxford), Dave Lloyd, and Matt Turner, has been accepted for publication in Nonlinearity. The paper presents a general approach to prove the existence, both locally and globally in amplitude, of fully localised multi-dimensional patterns in partial differential equations containing […]
