Abstract
Self-focusing can be induced by local and. nonlocal processes. In particular, we have shown this for a microemulsion1 where electrostriction and thermodiffusion are involved. In the case of local processes (electrostriction) self-focusing has been theoretically studied.2 This contribution is devoted to a theoretical formulation of a nonlocal thermodiffusive self-focusing, which exhibits an original oscillatory behavior.
