Localized patterns and hole solutions in one-dimension extended sytem
  The existence, stability properties, and bifurcation diagrams of localized patterns and hole solutions in one-dimensional extended systems is studied from the point of view of front interactions. An adequate envelope equation is derived from a prototype model that exhibits these particle-type solutions. This equation allow us to obtain an analytical expression for the front interaction, which is in good agreement with numerical simulations.
