description

We propose a novel forcing technique of spatially extended self-oscillatory systems able to excite phase bistability and the dissipative structures associated with it. The forcing is time periodic at a frequency close to the oscillators' frequency and is spatially modulated. The effects of this type of forcing are demonstrated analytically and numerically in a directly driven complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. Both spatially periodic and spatially random drives prove to be effective.
