Some analytical and numerical results are presented for pattern formation properties associated with novel types of reaction–diffusion (RD) systems that involve the coupling of bulk diffusion in the interior of a multi-dimensional spatial domain to nonlinear processes that occur either on the domain boundary or within localized compartments that are confined within the domain. The class of bulk-membrane system considered herein is derived from an asymptotic analysis in the limit of small thickness of a thin domain that surrounds the bulk medium. When the bulk domain is a two-dimensional disk, a weakly nonlinear analysis is used to characterize Turing and Hopf bifurcations that can arise from the linearization around a radially symmetric, but spatially non-uniform, steady-state of the bulk-membrane system. In a singularly perturbed limit, the existence and linear stability of localized membrane-bound spike patterns is analysed for a Gierer–Meinhardt activator-inhibitor model that includes bulk coupling. Finally, the emergence of collective intracellular oscillations is studied for a class of PDE-ODE bulk-cell model in a bounded two-dimensional domain that contains spatially localized, but dynamically active, circular cells that are coupled through a linear bulk diffusion field. Applications of such coupled bulk-membrane or bulk-cell systems to some biological systems are outlined, and some open problems in this area are discussed. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Recent progress and open frontiers in Turing’s theory of morphogenesis’.

AbstractThe main propose of this paper is presenting an efficient numerical scheme to solve WSGD scheme for one- and two-dimensional distributed order fractional reaction–diffusion equation. The proposed method is based on fractional B-spline basics in collocation method which involve Caputo-type fractional derivatives for $$0 < \alpha < 1$$ 0 < α < 1 . The most significant privilege of proposed method is efficient and quite accurate and it requires relatively less computational work. The solution of consideration problem is transmute to the solution of the linear system of algebraic equations which can be solved by a suitable numerical method. The finally, several numerical WSGD Scheme for one- and two-dimensional distributed order fractional reaction–diffusion equation.

Open Problems

In this paper we adopt the notion of orthogonality in Banach spaces introduced by the author in [6]. There, the author showed that in any two-dimensional subspace F of E, every nonzero element admits at most one orthogonal direction. The problem of existence of such orthogonal direction was not addressed before. Our main purpose in this paper is the investigation of this problem in the case where E is a real Banach space. As a result we obtain a characterisation of Hilbert spaces stating that, if in every two-dimensional subspace F of E every nonzero element admits an orthogonal direction, then E is isometric to a Hilbert space. We conclude by presenting some open problems.

We consider the nonlinear spatial evolution in the streamwise direction of slightly three-dimensional disturbances in the form of oblique travelling waves (with spanwise wavenumber kz much less than the streamwise one kx) in a mixing layer vx = u(y) at large Reynolds numbers. A study is made of the transition (with the growth of amplitude) to the regime of a nonlinear critical layer (CL) from regimes of a viscous CL and an unsteady CL, which we have investigated earlier (Churilov & Shukhman 1994). We have found a new type of transition to the nonlinear CL regime that has no analogy in the two-dimensional case, namely the transition from a stage of ‘explosive’ development. A nonlinear evolution equation is obtained which describes the development of disturbances in a regime of a quasi-steady nonlinear CL. We show that unlike the two-dimensional case there are two stages of disturbance growth after transition. In the first stage (immediately after transition) the amplitude A increases as x. Later, at the second stage, the ‘classical’ law A ∼ x2/3 is reached, which is usual for two-dimensional disturbances. It is demonstrated that with the growth of kz the region of three-dimensional behaviour is expanded, in particular the amplitude threshold of transition to the nonlinear CL regime from a stage of ‘explosive’ development rises and therefore in the ‘strongly three-dimensional’ limit kz = O(kx) such a transition cannot be realized in the framework of weakly nonlinear theory.
