We consider a nonlocal eigenvalue problem which arises in the study of stability of spike solutions for reaction–diffusion systems with fractional reaction rates such as the Sel'kov model, the Gray–Scott system, the hypercycle of Eigen and Schuster, angiogenesis, and the generalized Gierer–Meinhardt system. We give some sufficient and explicit conditions for stability by studying the corresponding nonlocal eigenvalue problem in a new range of parameters.

Wolfram’s cellular automata [1986] can be classified according to their asymptotic behavior: class I (homogeneous), class II (periodic), class III (chaotic) and class IV (“undecidable”, i.e. erratically changing between periodicity and chaos). While these automata are purely number-theoretical and suffer from ill-defined parametrization, we present here examples of automata describing actual physical systems and governed by well-defined control parameters: resting states between earthquakes, pigmentation on the shells of molluscs, and two-dimensional reaction–diffusion systems. We find that the dynamics of these three systems can be classified analogously to Wolfram’s automata. Moreover, we find agreement between class IV simulations and real shell patterns, indicating that these shells indeed present evidence for class IV behavior in nature. In addition, we performed an intuitively appealing quantification by averaging the fluctuations of the borders of error-propagation patterns.

In this paper, we investigate the stability for reaction systems with stochastic switching. Two types of switched models are considered: (i) Markov switching and (ii) independent and identically distributed switching. By means of the ergodic property of Markov chain, Dynkin formula and Fubini theorem, together with the Lyapunov direct method, some sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure that the zero solution of reaction–diffusion systems with Markov switching is almost surely exponential stable or exponentially stable in the mean square. By using Theorem 7.3 in [R. Durrett, Probability: Theory and Examples, Duxbury Press, Belmont, CA, 2005], we also investigate the stability of reaction–diffusion systems with independent and identically distributed switching. Meanwhile, an example with simulations is provided to certify that the stochastic switching plays an essential role in the stability of systems.

The Kuramoto–Sinelshchikov–Velarde equation describes the evolution of a phase turbulence in reaction-diffusion systems or the evolution of the plane flame propagation, taking into account the combined influence of diffusion and thermal conduction of the gas on the stability of a plane flame front. In this paper, we prove the well-posedness of the classical solutions for the Cauchy problem.

In this article we analyze conditions for different types of instabilities and complex dynamics that occur in nonlinear two-component fractional reaction-diffusion systems. It is shown that the stability of steady state solutions and their evolution are mainly determined by the eigenvalue spectrum of a linearized system and the fractional derivative order. The results of the linear stability analysis are confirmed by computer simulations of the FitzHugh-Nahumo-like model. On the basis of this model, it is demonstrated that the conditions of instability and the pattern formation dynamics in fractional activator- inhibitor systems are different from the standard ones. As a result, a richer and a more complicated spatiotemporal dynamics takes place in fractional reaction-diffusion systems. A common picture of nonlinear solutions in time-fractional reaction-diffusion systems and illustrative examples are presented. The results obtained in the article for homogeneous perturbation have also been of interest for dynamical systems described by fractional ordinary differential equations.
