Pattern formation (II): The Turing Instability

Analysis of PDEs 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We consider the classical Turing instability in a reaction-diffusion system as the secend part of our study on pattern formation. We prove that nonlinear dynamics of a general perturbation of the Turing instability is determined by the finite number of linear growing modes over a time scale of ln(1/δ)ln(1/\delta), where &\delta$ is the strength of the initial perturbation.
