Stochastic Turing Patterns

چکیده
The problem of explaining the rich spectrum of different patterns exhibited by mammals has a long history. In a controversial paper [Turing52], Turing proposed a Reaction-Diffusion (RD) model to explain at a macroscopic scale the process of pattern formation, as related to the occurrence of what he called a diffusion-driven instability. A typical Turing system consists of at least two chemical species, usually referred to as activator and inhibitor, reacting in such a way that their steady state is stable to small perturbations in the absence of diffusion, but becomes unstable when diffusion is present. This simple mechanism (also referred to as Turing instability) was indicated by Turing as being responsible for the creation of spatial patterns in mammals [Murray93]. In mathematical terms, Turing models have the following general form:

0 Stochastic Turing patterns in the Brusselator model
A stochastic version of the Brusselator model is proposed and studied via the system size expansion. The mean-field equations are derived and shown to yield to organized Turing patterns within a specific parameters region. When determining the Turing condition for instability, we pay particular attention to the role of cross diffusive terms, often neglected in the heuristic derivation of reacti...
متن کاملStochastic Turing patterns: analysis of compartment-based approaches.
Turing patterns can be observed in reaction-diffusion systems where chemical species have different diffusion constants. In recent years, several studies investigated the effects of noise on Turing patterns and showed that the parameter regimes, for which stochastic Turing patterns are observed, can be larger than the parameter regimes predicted by deterministic models, which are written in ter...
متن کامل6 A pr 2 01 2 Stochastic Turing Patterns on a Network
The process of stochastic Turing instability on a network is discussed for a specific case study, the stochastic Brusselator model. The system is shown to spontaneously differentiate into activator-rich and activator-poor nodes, outside the region of parameters classically deputed to the deterministic Turing instability. This phenomenon, as revealed by direct stochastic simulations, is explaine...
متن کاملSPOT PATTERNS IN GRAY SCOTT MODEL WITH APPLICATION TO EPIDEMIC CONTROL
In this work, we analyse a pair of two-dimensional coupled reaction-diusion equations known as the Gray-Scott model, in which spot patterns have been observed. We focus on stationary patterns, and begin by deriving the asymptotic scaling of the parameters and variables necessary for the analysis of these patterns. A complete bifurcation study of these solutions is presented. The main mathematic...
متن کاملStochastic patterns in a 1D Rock-Paper-Scissor model with mutation
In the framework of a 1D cyclic competition model, the Rock–Paper–Scissor model, where bacteria are allowed to mutate and move in space, we study the formation of stochastic patterns, where all the bacteria species do coexist. We modelled the problem using an individual–based setting and using the system size van Kampen expansion to deal with the Master Equation, we have been able to characteri...
متن کاملQuasi-patterns produced by a Mexican Hat coupling of quasi-cycles
A family of stochastic processes has quasi-cycle oscillations if its otherwise-damped oscillations are sustained by noise. Such a family forms the reaction part of a stochastic reaction-diffusion system when we insert a local Mexican Hat-type, difference of Gaussians, coupling on a one-dimensional and on a two-dimensional lattice. We find spatial patterns of oscillating quasicycles that resembl...
