Abstract
The vector complex Swift–Hohenberg equation is a natural extension of the scalar complex version that is widely used for the description of lasers and other non-linear optical systems. Numerical analysis of this equation reveals a great variety of patterns and structures such as traveling waves, spiral waves, defects, segregation and competition between stable solutions. Simple analytical arguments are given to explain these behaviours.
