Transition to hexagonal pattern under the variation of intrinsic length scales of a reaction diffusion system

Abstract

The intrinsic length scales of a reaction diffusion system (Gierer-Meinhardt model)is varied by quasi-statically changing the diffusion constant of the activator and a transition from rolls to hexagon is detected. The transition is hysteretic or first order like. From stability analysis, we also analytically show the possibility of such transitions.
