contents In this paper, we analyse the dynamics of a pattern-forming system close to simultaneous Turing and Turing--Hopf instabilities, which have a 1:1 spatial resonance, that is, they have the same critical wave number. For this, we consider a system of coupled Swift--Hohenberg equations with dispersive terms and general, smooth nonlinearities. Close to the onset of instability, we derive a system of two coupled complex Ginzburg--Landau equations with a singular advection term as amplitude equations and justify the approximation by providing error estimates. We then construct space-time periodic solutions to the amplitude equations, as well as fast-travelling front solutions, which connect different space-time periodic states. This yields the existence of solutions to the pattern-forming system on a finite, but long time interval, which model the spatial transition between different patterns. The construction is based on geometric singular perturbation theory exploiting the fast travelling speed of the fronts. Finally, we construct global, spatially periodic solutions to the pattern-forming system by using centre manifold reduction, normal form theory and a variant of singular perturbation theory to handle fast oscillatory higher-order terms.
