title: Spatial patterns induced purely by dichotomous disorder.
abstract: We study conditions under which spatially extended systems with coupling in the manner of Swift and Hohenberg exhibit spatial patterns induced purely by the presence of quenched dichotomous disorder. Complementing the theoretical results based on a generalized mean-field approximation, we also present numerical simulations of particular dynamical systems that exhibit the proposed phenomenology.
