Abstract

Description

A number of mechanisms that lead to the confinement of patterns to a small part of a translationally symmetric pattern-forming system are reviewed: nonadiabatic locking of fronts, global coupling and conservation laws, dispersion, and coupling to additional slow modes $via$ gradients. Various connections with experimental results are made.
