Theories of localised pattern formation are important to understand a broad range of natural patterns, but are less well-understood than more established mechanisms of domain-filling pattern formation. Here, we extend recent work on pattern…
Localized spot patterns, where one or more solution components concentrates at certain points in the domain, are a common class of localized pattern for reaction-diffusion systems, and they arise in a wide range of modeling scenarios. In an…
Spatially localized 2-D spot patterns occur for a wide variety of two component reaction-diffusion systems in the singular limit of a large diffusivity ratio. Such localized, far-from-equilibrium, patterns are known to exhibit a wide range…

We study numerically the cubic-quintic-septic Swift-Hohenberg (SH357) equation on bounded one-dimensional domains. Under appropriate conditions stripes with wave number $k\approx 1$ bifurcate supercritically from the zero state and form…
