We present an n-dimensional integrable homogeneous Lotka--Volterra system, which has $(n^2-1)$-dimensional Lie symmetry algebra. Moreover a wider integrable family is derived from the structure of the Lie algebra.
Modulational dynamics of oscillatory travelling rolls in magnetoconvection is studied near the onset of a Hopf bifurcation. Using weakly nonlinear analysis, we derive an envelope equation of oscillatory travelling rolls in the plane perpendicular to an ambient vertical magnetic field.The envelope equation is the Davey-Stewartson (DS) equation with complex coefficients, from which we obtain criteria for the modulational (Benjamin-Feir) instability of oscillatory travelling rolls.
