A reaction–diffusion system consisting of one, two or three chemical species and taking place in an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions cannot exhibit Turing instability if none of the reaction steps express cross-inhibition. A corollary of this result – obtained by elementary calculations – underlines the importance of nonlinearity in the formation of stationary structures, a kind of self-o...

Systems of pioneer and climax species are used to model interactions of species whose reproductive capacity is sensitive to population density in their shared ecosystem. Intraspecies interaction coefficients can be adjusted so that spatially homogeneous solutions are stable to small perturbations. In a reaction-diffusion pioneer/climax model we will determine the critical value of the diffusion...

A two-population firing-rate model describing the dynamics of excitatory and inhibitory neural activity in one spatial dimension is investigated with respect to formation of patterns, in particular stationary periodic patterns and spatiotemporal oscillations. Conditions for existence of spatially homogeneous equilibrium states are first determined, and the stability properties of these equilibr...

For reaction-diffusion equations with delay, the joint effects of diffusion and delay are studied. In particular, for two-dimensional systems where only the interaction between species is delayed, the interdependence of stability against delay and against diffusion (Turing instability) can be clearly exhibited. Turing instabilities occur largely independent of delay. But periodic oscillations, ...

In this paper, we extend a Leslie–Gower-type predator–prey system with ratio-dependent Holling III functional response considering the cost of antipredator defence due to fear. We study impact fear effect on model, and find that many interesting dynamical properties model can occur when is present. Firstly, relationship between coefficient K positive equilibrium point introduced. Meanwhile, exi...

The spatiotemporal dynamics of a diffusive ratio-dependent Holling-Tanner predator-prey model with Smith growth subject to zero-flux boundary condition are investigated analytically and numerically. The asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcation around the positive equilibrium are shown; the conditions of Turing instability are obtained. And with the ...

The present paper deals with a toxin producing phytoplankton (TPP)-zooplankton interaction in spatial environment in thecontext of phytoplankton bloom. In the absence of diffusion the stability of the given system in terms of co-existence and hopf bifurcation has been discussed. After that TPP-zooplankton interaction is considered in spatiotemporal domain by assuming self diffusion in both popu...

We consider a classical reaction-diffusion system undergoing Turing instability and augment it by an additional unilateral source term. We investigate its influence on the Turing instability and on the character of resulting patterns. The nonsmooth positively homogeneous unilateral term τv− has favourable properties in spite of the fact that the standard linear stability analysis cannot be perf...

I propose that the labyrinthine patterns of the cortices of mammalian brains may be formed by a Turing instability of interacting axonal guidance species acting together with the mechanical strain imposed by the interconnecting axons.

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...
