Bifurcation to spatial patterns in a two-dimensional reaction—diffusion medium is considered. The selection of stripes versus spots is shown to depend on the nonlinear terms and cannot be discerned from the linearized model. The absence of quadratic terms leads to stripes but in most common models quadratic terms will lead to spot patterns. Examples that include neural nets and more general pattern formation equations are considered.

Diffusion Systems

In this study, we investigate two-dimensional patterns generated by chemotaxis reaction-diffusion systems. We numerically examine the Keller–Segel models with the volume-filling aggregation term and the receptor aggregation term in two dimensions. Spotted, striped and reversed spotted patterns are obtained as stable motionless equilibrium patterns. The relative stability of these patterns is studied numerically on the basis of the derived free energy. The intuitive understanding of these generated patterns and the relation with three-dimensional patterns are also discussed.
