We study a p-adic reaction-diffusion system and the associated Turing patterns. We establish an instability criteria and show that the Turing patterns are not classical patterns consisting of alternating domains. Instead of this, a Turing…
Pattern formation is a visual understanding of the dynamics of complex systems. Patterns arise in many ways, such as the segmentation of animals, bacterial colonies during growth, vegetation, chemical reactions, etc. In most cases, the…
Spatial distribution of the human population is distinctly heterogeneous, e.g. showing significant difference in the population density between urban and rural areas. In the historical perspective, i.e. on the timescale of centuries, the…
Confirming Turing's theory of morphogens in developmental processes is challenging, and synthetic biology has opened new avenues for testing Turing's predictions. Synthetic mammalian pattern formation has been recently achieved through a…
Although the pattern formation on polymer gels has been considered as a result of the mechanical instability due to the volume phase transition, we found a macroscopic surface pattern formation not caused by the mechanical instability. It…
Diffusion-driven patterns appear on curved surfaces in many settings, initiated by unstable modes of an underlying Laplacian operator. On a flat surface or perfect sphere, the patterns are degenerate, reflecting translational/rotational…
In this work we investigate the effect of density dependent nonlinear diffusion on pattern formation in the Brusselator system. Through linear stability analysis of the basic solution we determine the Turing and the oscillatory instability…
Analytically tracking patterns emerging from a small amplitude Turing instability to large amplitude remains a challenge as no general theory exists. In this paper, we consider a three component reaction-diffusion system with one of its…
We investigate Turing instability and pattern formation in two-dimensional domains for two reaction-diffusion models, obtained as diffusive limits of kinetic equations for mixtures of monatomic and polyatomic gases. The first model is of…
While our understanding of the way single neurons process chromatic stimuli in the early visual pathway has advanced significantly in recent years, we do not yet know how these cells interact to form stable representations of hue. Drawing…
We propose general conditions for the emergence of Turing patterns in a domain that changes size through homogeneous growth/shrinkage based on the qualitative changes of a potential function. For this part of the work, we consider the most…
The patterns observed on the body surface of living organisms have traditionally been attributed solely to ecological strategies. However, this study investigates a fascinating phenomenon in Pelodiscus sinensis, where patterns formed on the…
We study pattern-forming instabilities in reaction-advection-diffusion systems. We develop an approach based on Lyapunov-Bloch exponents to figure out the impact of a spatially periodic mixing flow on the stability of a spatially…
This study examines how patterns on mammal body surfaces change as they transition from juveniles to adults and with seasonal variations. Our previous research suggests that patterns formed in infancy may fade due to the growing domain…
This paper investigates pattern formation in reaction--diffusion systems with both diffusive and nondiffusive components, providing necessary and sufficient conditions for diffusion-driven instability (DDI) and establishing the existence of…
A model of pattern formation in living systems is presented. The pattern is achieved by the sequential interaction of two signaling pathways. The coupling of the pattern to the (thick) epithelial sheet changes is given, when the Gauss…
