We derive a phase equation containing terms of third-order in spatial derivatives. In this equation, a nonlinear dissipative term with a third-order derivative suppresses the lowestorder diffusive instability, in cooperation with the other terms of third-order in spatial derivatives. We find an exact shock solution of the phase equation, whose upstream and downstream states are stable, and a periodic solution stable with respect to modulation that is realized through a Hopf bifurcation.
