Abstract
We extend the mechanism for noise-induced phase transitions proposed by Ibanes et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 020601-1 (2001)] to pattern formation phenomena. In contrast with known mechanisms for pure noise-induced pattern formation, this mechanism is not driven by a short-time instability amplified by collective effects. The phenomenon is analyzed by means of a modulated mean field approximation and numerical simulations.
