Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the onset of phase-dominant dynamics in a uniform ly forced system. The study is based on the numerical integration of the Sw ift-Hohenberg equation and adresses the characterization of phase disorder detected from gradient computational operators as complex entropic form (CE F). The transition from amplitude to phase dynamics is well characterized b y means of the variance of the CEF phase component. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scien ce B.V. All rights reserved.
