Abstract: | Nonlinear waves in mathematical models of nonequilibrium spatially uniform media with the oscillatory instability of the trivial state are considered. The models are based on the generalized Ginsburg-Landau equations. For the long-wave system, i.e. that described by two-component reaction-diffusion equations, we obtain the full stability conditions for monochromatic plane travelling waves. The basic part of the paper is devoted to the short-wave system which can be described by reaction-diffusion equations with not less than three components or by a two-component system with residual nonlocality. We construct the Ginsburg-Landau equation for this system, and we find its general quasistationary one-dimensional solution which is a travelling wave modulated by a travelling envelope wave. The stability of this solution is investigated with the especial emphasis on different important particular cases. The obtained results are compared with experimental observations of different waves on fronts of detonation and non-gaseous combustion (which also are characterized by the oscillatory short-wave instability of the trivial state), and the qualitative agreement between theoretical and experimental results is demonstrated. |
