In the context of the nonlinear interaction of counterpropagating light beams, we demonstrate the unrealistic symmetries that arise in the simulation of spontaneous pattern formation when using square computational grids. We have formulated a general... Read More about Spatial grid symmetries and reduced models in the simulation of beam counterpropagation in a nonlinear medium.
