Abstract
Spatially periodic equilibria A(X, T) = √1 − q^2^ e are the locally preferred planform for the Ginzburg‐Landau equation ∂~T~A = ∂^2^~X~A + A − A|A|^2^. To describe the global spatial behavior, an evolution equation for the local wave number q can be derived formally. The local wave number q satisfies approximately a so called phase diffusion equation ∂~τ~q = ∂^2^~ξ~h(q). It is the purpose of this paper to explain the extent to which the phase diffusion equation is valid by proving estimates for this formal approximation. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
