and the short-term behavior is then unstable for any noise intensity (i.e., even when

simulation shown in Fig. 5.23 confirms that model ( 5.46 ) generates stable patterns
with the same dominant wavelength as those shown in Fig. 5.20 .

5.4.3 Case with g ( φ 0 ) = 0 : The van den Broeck-Parrondo-Toral model
In this subsection, we study a more complex model with respect to the one investigated
in Subsection 5.4.1 . It is shown that more complicated forms of the functions f (
φ
)
and g (
) do not qualitatively change the picture drawn in the previous subsections,
provided that the interplay between short-term instability and spatial coupling remains
the same. To this end, we can consider the stochastic model
