Variable Substrate

For a large class of reaction–diffusion systems with large diffusivity ratio, it is well known that a two-dimensional stripe (whose cross-section is a one-dimensional homoclinic spike) is unstable and breaks up into spots. Here, we study two effects that can stabilize such a homoclinic stripe. First, we consider the addition of anisotropy to the model. For the Schnakenberg model, we show that (an infinite) stripe can be stabilized if the fast-diffusing variable (substrate) is sufficiently anisotropic. Two types of instability thresholds are derived: zigzag (or bending) and break-up instabilities. The instability boundaries subdivide parameter space into three distinct zones: stable stripe, unstable stripe due to bending and unstable due to break-up instability. Numerical experiments indicate that the break-up instability is supercritical leading to a ‘spotted-stripe’ solution. Finally, we perform a similar analysis for the Klausmeier model of vegetation patterns on a steep hill, and examine transition from spots to stripes. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Dissipative structures in matter out of equilibrium: from chemistry, photonics and biology (part 2)’.

Mollusc Shells

On mollusc shells one can find famous patterns. Some of them show a great resemblance to the soliton patterns in one-dimensional systems. Other look like Sierpinsky triangles or exhibit very irregular patterns. Meinhardt has shown that those patterns can be well described by reaction–diffusion systems [1]. However, such a description neglects the discrete character of the cell system at the growth front of the mollusc shell.We have therefore developed a one-dimensional cellular vector automaton model which takes into account the cellular behaviour of the system [2]. The state of the mathematical cell is defined by a vector with two components. We looked for the most simple transformation rules in order to develop quite different types of waves: classical waves, chemical waves and different types of solitons. Our attention was focussed on the properties of the system created through the collision of two waves.

Time Evolution Equation

Multi-species reaction-diffusion systems, with more-than-two-site interaction on a one-dimensional lattice are considered. Necessary and sufficient constraints on the interaction rates are obtained, that guarantee the closure of the time evolution equation for [Formula: see text], the expectation value of the product of certain linear combination of the number operators on n consecutive sites at time t.

The structure of spiral waves is investigated in super-excitable reaction–diffusion systems where the local dynamics exhibits multilooped phase-space trajectories. It is shown that such systems support stable spiral waves with broken rotational symmetry and complex temporal dynamics. The main structural features of such waves, synchronization defect lines, are demonstrated to be similar to those of spiral waves in systems with complex-oscillatory dynamics.
