Abstract
When the kernel is short-range, weakly nonlinear analysis results in envelope equations of standard type but whose coefficients are modified in complicated ways by the nonlinear nonlocal term. Nevertheless, these computations can be formulated quite generally in terms of properties of the Fourier transform of the kernel function. When the lengthscale associated with the kernel is longer, our method leads naturally to the derivation of two different, novel, envelope equations that describe aspects of the dynamics in these new regimes. The first of these contains additional bifurcations, and unexpected loops in the bifurcation diagram. The second of these captures the stretched-out nature of the homoclinic snaking curves that arises due to the nonlocal term.
