An activator-inhibitor-substrate model of side-branching used in the context of pulmonary vascular and lung development is considered on the supposition that spatially localized concentrations of the activator trigger local side-branching.…
We study the existence and stability of propagating fronts in Meinhardt's multivariable reaction-diffusion model of branching in one spatial dimension. We identify a saddle-node-infinite-period (SNIPER) bifurcation of fronts that leads to…
We study the spatiotemporal properties of coherent states (peaks, holes, and fronts) in a bistable activator-inhibitor system that exhibits biochemical saturated autocatalysis, and in which fronts do not preserve spatial parity symmetry.…
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…
The existence and stability of localized patterns of criminal activity are studied for the reaction-diffusion model of urban crime that was introduced by Short et. al. [Math. Models. Meth. Appl. Sci., 18, Suppl. (2008), pp. 1249--1267].…
We analyze the formation of one-dimensional localized patterns in a nonlinear dissipative medium including a set of two narrow "hot spots" (HSs), which carry the linear gain, local potential, cubic self-interaction, and cubic loss, while…
We study instabilities and pattern formation in reaction-diffusion layers that are diffusively coupled. For two-layer systems of identical two-component reactions, we analyze the stability of homogeneous steady states by exploiting the…
In this paper we consider the existence and stability of multi-spike solutions to the fractional Gierer-Meinhardt model with periodic boundary conditions. In particular we rigorously prove the existence of symmetric and asymmetric two-spike…
The structure, linear stability, and dynamics of localized solutions to singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equations has been the focus of numerous rigorous, asymptotic, and numerical studies in the last few decades. However, with a…
Many engineering structures are composed of weakly coupled sectors assembled in a cyclic and ideally symmetric configuration, which can be simplified as forced Duffing oscillators. In this paper, we study the emergence of localized states…
In this work we study the effect of density dependent nonlinear diffusion on pattern formation in the Lengyel--Epstein system. Via the linear stability analysis we determine both the Turing and the Hopf instability boundaries and we show…
In this paper, we introduce a three-component Gierer-Meinhardt model in the semi-strong interaction regime, characterized by an asymptotically large diffusivity ratio. A key feature of this model is that the interior spike can undergo Hopf…
Numerical continuation is used to compute solution branches in a two-component reaction-diffusion model of Leslie--Gower type. %in the vicinity of a Turing-Hopf interaction. Two regimes are studied in detail. In the first, the homogeneous…
Numerical simulations of classical pattern forming reaction-diffusion systems indicate that they often operate in the strongly nonlinear regime, with the final steady-state consisting of a spatially repeating pattern of localized spikes. In…
Precursor gradients in a reaction-diffusion system are spatially varying coefficients in the reaction-kinetics. Such gradients have been used in various applications, such as the head formation in the Hydra, to model the effect of…
We consider the Gierer-Meinhardt system with small inhibitor diffusivity and very small activator diffusivity in a bounded and smooth two-dimensional domain. For any given positive integer $k$ we construct a spike cluster consisting of $k$…
Turing instabilities for a two species reaction-diffusion systems is studied under anisotropic diffusion. More specifically, the diffusion constants which characterize the ability of the species to relocate in space are direction sensitive.…
We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for Turing instabilities to occur in two-component systems of reaction-diffusion equations with Neumann boundary conditions. We apply this condition to reaction-diffusion systems built from…
Turing instability in activator-inhibitor systems provides a paradigm of nonequilibrium pattern formation; it has been extensively investigated for biological and chemical processes. Turing pattern formation should furthermore be possible…
Turing patterns formed by activator-inhibitor systems on networks are considered. The linear stability analysis shows that the Turing instability generally occurs when the inhibitor diffuses sufficiently faster than the activator. Numerical…
