Eckmann J.-P., Wayne C.E. The Non-Linear Stability of Front Solutions for Parabolic Partial Differential Equations (117K, Postscript, 14 pages) ABSTRACT. For the Ginzburg-Landau equation and similar reaction-diffusion equations on the line, we show convergence of {\em complex} perturbations of front solutions towards the front solutions, by exhibiting a coercive functional.
