ABSTRACT
It is shown from the conserved Zakharov equations that many solitary patterns are formed from the modulational instability of unstable harmonic modes that are excited by a perturbative wave number. Pattern selection in our case is discussed. It is found that the evolution of solitary patterns may appear in three states spatiotemporal coherence, chaos in time but the partial coherence in space, and spatiotemporal chaos. The spatially partial coherent state is essentially due to ion-acoustic wave emission, while spatiotemporal chaos characterized by its incoherent patterns in both space and time is caused by collision and fusion among patterns in stochastic motion. So energy carried by patterns in the system is redistributed.
