In this paper, we investigate the effects of time-delay and diffusion on the disease dynamics in an epidemic model analytically and numerically. We give the conditions of Hopf and Turing bifurcations in a spatial domain. From the results of mathematical analysis and numerical simulations, we find that for unequal diffusive coefficients, time-delay and diffusion may induce that Turing instability results in stationary Turing patterns, Hopf instability results in spiral wave patterns, and Hopf–Turing instability results in chaotic wave patterns. Our results well extend the findings of spatiotemporal dynamics in the delayed reaction–diffusion epidemic model, and show that time-delay has a strong impact on the pattern formation of the reaction–diffusion epidemic model.

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of a [Formula: see text] operon model with delayed feedback and diffusion effect. If the system is without delay or the delay is small, the positive equilibrium is stable so that there are no spatial patterns formed; while the time delay is large enough the equilibrium becomes unstable so that rich spatiotemporal dynamics may occur. We have found that time delay can not only incur temporal oscillations but also induce imbalance in space. With different initial values, the system may have different spatial patterns, for instance, spirals with one head, four heads, nine heads, and even microspirals.

In this paper, we propose and study an almost periodic reaction–diffusion epidemic model in which disease latency, spatial heterogeneity and general seasonal fluctuations are incorporated. The model is given by a spatially nonlocal reaction–diffusion system with a fixed time delay. We first characterise the upper Lyapunov exponent $${\lambda ^*}$$ for a class of almost periodic reaction–diffusion equations with a fixed time delay and provide a numerical method to compute it. On this basis, the global threshold dynamics of this model is established in terms of $${\lambda ^*}$$ . It is shown that the disease-free almost periodic solution is globally attractive if $${\lambda ^*} < 0$$ , while the disease is persistent if $${\lambda ^*} < 0$$ . By virtue of numerical simulations, we investigate the effects of diffusion rate, incubation period and spatial heterogeneity on disease transmission.

In this paper, we investigate pattern dynamics of a nonlocal delay SI epidemic model with the growth of susceptible population following logistic mode. Applying the linear stability theory, the condition that the model generates Turing instability at the endemic steady state is analyzed; then, the exact Turing domain is found in the parameter space. Additionally, numerical results show that the time delay has key effect on the spatial distribution of the infected, that is, time delay induces the system to generate stripe patterns with different spatial structures and affects the average density of the infected. The numerical simulation is consistent with the theoretical results, which provides a reference for disease prevention and control.

A predator-prey model with both cross diffusion and time delay is considered. We give the conditions for emerging Turing instability in detail. Furthermore, we illustrate the spatial patterns via numerical simulations, which show that the model dynamics exhibits a delay and diffusion controlled formation growth not only of spots and stripe-like patterns, but also of the two coexist. The obtained results show that this system has rich dynamics; these patterns show that it is useful for the diffusive predation model with a delay effect to reveal the spatial dynamics in the real model.

Spiral patterns have been observed experimentally, numerically, and theoretically in a variety of systems. It is often believed that these spiral wave patterns can occur only in systems of reaction–diffusion equations. We show, both theoretically (using Hopf bifurcation techniques) and numerically (using both direct simulation and continuation of rotating waves) that spiral wave patterns can appear in a single reaction–diffusion equation [ in u(x, t)] on a disk, if one assumes "spiral" boundary conditions (ur = muθ). Spiral boundary conditions are motivated by assuming that a solution is infinitesimally an Archimedian spiral near the boundary. It follows from a bifurcation analysis that for this form of spirals there are no singularities in the spiral pattern (technically there is no spiral tip) and that at bifurcation there is a steep gradient between the "red" and "blue" arms of the spiral.

Turing instability constitutes a universal paradigm for the spontaneous generation of spatially organized patterns, especially in a chemical reaction. In this paper, we investigated the pattern dynamics of Brusselator from the view of complex networks and considered the interaction between diffusion and reaction in the random network. After a detailed theoretical analysis, we obtained the approximate instability region about the diffusion coefficient and the connection probability of the random network. In the meantime, we also obtained the critical condition of Turing instability in the network-organized system and found that how the network connection probability and diffusion coefficient affect the reaction-diffusion system of the Brusselator model. In the end, the reason for arising of Turing instability in the Brusselator with the random network was explained. Numerical simulation verified the theoretical results.

Abstract This paper analyzes the diffusion behavior of the suspicious and the infected cabins in cyberspace by establishing a rumor propagation reaction diffusion model with Allee effect and time delay. The Turing instability conditions of the system under various conditions are emphatically studied. After considering the delay effect of rumor propagation systems, we have studied the correlation between the stability of the system under the influence of small time delay and the homogeneous system near the equilibrium point, and the critical condition of the delay-induced spatial instability is given. Further considering the possibility of diffusion coefficient changing with time, the critical parameter curves of stability and instability of approximate systems are given by means of Floquet theory, and the necessary conditions of Turing-instability of periodic coefficient are studied. In the numerical simulations, we find that the variation of diffusion coefficient will change the pattern type, and the periodical diffusion behavior will affect the arrangement of the crowd gathering area in the pattern.
