27. Note that Eq. (3) also describes the evolution of the order parameter for the parametric instability in vertically oscillating fluids.

29. This analysis is similar to that of Ref. 28, where the stability of hexagons was demonstrated for the SHE. In a certain limit Eq. (3) can be reduced to SHE (see below).
30. Numerical experiments were performed using the quasispectral split-step method in a (Formula presented) domain with (Formula presented) mesh points and periodic boundary conditions.

42. The measured acceleration (Formula presented) may differ from the applied subharmonic (sinusoidal) driving q since the granular material moves inside the cell. We measure q independently by removing the granular material from the cell.
