Cover Story: This is a brief review designed as a festschrift dedicated to the 70th birthday of Prof. M. Tribelsky. The review addresses two basic topics in the theory of pattern formation in nonlinear dissipative media: (i) domain walls (DWs), i.e., transient layers between different states occupying semi-infinite regions, and (ii) two- and three-dimensional quasiperiodic patterns, which are built as superpositions of modes with incommensurate spatial periodicities. Included are both well-known results and new ones, viz., several species of exact solutions of coupled Ginzburg–Landau equations (GLEs) for symmetric and asymmetric DWs. Two- and multicomponent systems of GLEs, considered in this review, are accurate models for many physical settings, including thermal convection, multimode light propagation, binary Bose–Einstein condensates, and others.
