Abstract
We consider the Real non-self-adjoint Ginzburg Landau (RnsaGL) equation where the linear operator gives rise to a quasi-basis structure. This quasi-basis structure allows us to look at the transfer of energy between eigenmodes in a system that is both non-normal and nonlinear. The importance of non-normality versus nonlinearity has been a topic of debate concerning where difficulty modelling Fluid Mechanics systems lies. Although only a toy model, the quasi-basis structure allows us to illustrate the ramifications of non-normality and nonlinearity contemporaneously in contrast to tools such as the plotting of pseudospectra that only illuminates the linear phenomena. There are also consequences of quasi-basis structure for computing pseudospectra and higher order terms via weakly nonlinear expansions.
