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…

We propose conditions for the emergence of Turing patterns in a domain that changes in size by homogeneous growth/shrinkage. These conditions to determine the bifurcation are based on considering the geometric change of a potential function…

Turing's theory of pattern formation has been used to describe the formation of self-organised periodic patterns in many biological, chemical and physical systems. However, the use of such models is hindered by our inability to predict, in…

In this paper, we explore pattern formation in a four-species variational Gary-Scott model, which includes all reverse reactions and introduces a virtual species to describe the birth-death process in the classical Gray-Scott model. This…

This paper investigates the conditions for the stability and emergence of patterns in a new three-component reaction-diffusion system. The system describes the coexistence and interaction of water reservoirs, vegetation, and bushfire…

Spatial and temporal pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems is typically studied with two or more equations, as scalar reaction-diffusion equations confined to convex domains do not admit stable inhomogeneous states in time or…

We estimate density of defects frozen into a biological Turing pattern which was turned on at a finite rate. A self-locking of gene expression in individual cells, which makes the Turing transition discontinuous, stabilizes the pattern…

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…

Turing patterns, arising from the interplay between competing species of diffusive particles, has long been an important concept for describing non-equilibrium self-organization in nature, and has been extensively investigated in many…

We analyze diffusion-driven (Turing) instability of a reaction-diffusion system. The innovation is that we replace the traditional Laplacian diffusion operator with a combination of the fourth order bi-Laplacian operator and the second…

Pattern formation is ubiquitous in nature and the mechanism widely-accepted to underlay them is based on the Turing instability, predicted by Alan Turing decades ago. This is a non-trivial mechanism that involves nonlinear interaction terms…

Accurate and robust spatial orders are ubiquitous in living systems. In 1952, Alan Turing proposed an elegant mechanism for pattern formation based on spontaneous breaking of the spatial translational symmetry in the underlying…

The amplitude of fluctuation-induced patterns might be expected to be proportional to the strength of the driving noise, suggesting that such patterns would be difficult to observe in nature. Here, we show that a large class of…

Self-organization in natural and engineered systems causes the emergence of ordered spatio-temporal motifs. In presence of diffusive species, Turing theory has been widely used to understand the formation of such patterns on continuous…
