Oscillons : localized patterns in a periodically forced system

Spatially localized, time-periodic structures, known as oscillons, are common in patternforming systems, appearing in fluid mechanics, chemical reactions, optics and granular media. This thesis examines the existence of oscillatory localized states in a PDE model with single frequency time dependent...
