    Stochastic analysis of symmetry-breaking bifurcations: Master equation approach

    No full text
    The multivariate master equation for a general reaction-diffusion system is solved perturbatively, in the vicinity of a bifurcation point leading to symmetry-breaking transitions. The possibility to express the result through a Brazovskii type of potential is examined, and a comparison with the Langevin analysis of Walgraef et al. [Adv. Chem. Phys.49:311 (1982)] is performed. © 1984 Plenum Publishing Corporation.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
