    Abstract

    The modified complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (mCGLE) which includes a delayed response term in the integral form is analysed. In particular, a singularity analysis of mCGLE is presented. It is shown that this equation fails to pass the Painlevé test when the non-conservative terms are nonzero. Nevertheless, exact solutions to this equation do exist. Stationary solutions can be treated using the 'segment balance' method which is an extension of conservation laws to non-conservative systems. This method is used to derive an exact soliton solution of mCGLE.
