Forced symmetry breaking of Euclidean equivariant partial differential equations, pattern formation and Turing instabilities
Many natural phenomena may be modelled using systems of differential equations that possess symmetry. Often the modelling process introduces additional symmetries that are only approximately present in the real physical system. This thesis investigates how the inclusion of small symmetry breaking ef...
