It is well known that the partial differential equation (PDE) describing the dynamics of a hydrodynamically unstable planar flame front has exact pole solutions for which the PDE reduces to a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The paradox, however, lies in the fact that the set of ODEs does not permit the appearance of new poles in the complex plane, or the formation of cusps in the physical space, as observed in experiments. The validity of the PDE itself has thus been questioned. We show here that the discrepancy between the PDE and the ODEs is due to the instability of exact pole solutions for the PDE. In previous work, we have reported that most exact pole solutions are indeed unstable for the PDE but, for each interval of relatively small length L, there remains one solution (up to translation symmetry) which is neutrally stable. The latter is a one-peak, coalescent solution for which the poles (whose number is maximal) are steady. The front undergoes bifurcations as the length of the dom...
