5. Squares at onset are observed in RBC with poor heat conducting boundaries, in agreement with theory (see, e.g., [6]). The recently observed square patterns in the Bénard-Marangoni convection at onset [7] are at variance with the theoretical prediction of subcritical hexagons at threshold [8]. For other experimental systems, see [9].
