Figure 3

Schematic representation of the bifurcation diagram of the generalised Swift-Hohenberg model, Eq. (2) as function of η parameter for ν < 0 and μ < 0. The vertical axis accounts for the amplitude ||A0|| of the spatial oscillation of the pattern. ηT, ηB, and ηM account for the critical value or the transition, the nascent of bistability, and the Maxwell point, respectively. The shaded area accounts for the pinning region. Insets stand for the different equilibria, where B, A, C, and D account for the uniform stable, saddle type, hexagonal pattern, and unstable state.
