Abstract
A report on the parametrically forced surface wave with a nonmonotonic dispersion relation was presented. Surface wave patterns that arise in a mechanically driven ferrofluid system under constant magnetic field were investigated. It was found that as the strength of the applied magnetic field increases, the initial subharmonic square lattice formed by the Faraday instability first transforms to rolls and then becomes a rhomboid lattice.
