title: Ising-Bloch transition for spatially extended patterns.
abstract: The Ising-Bloch transition for domain walls in spatially extended nonlinear systems is a known phenomenon. We show a similar transition for extended patterns, such as labyrinths and stripes. The analysis is performed in the frame of the parametrically driven Ginzburg-Landau equation, which is a paradigmatic model for a variety on nonlinear systems showing the Ising-Bloch transition of domain walls.
