Scale-invariance in reaction-diffusion models of spatial pattern formation.
We propose a reaction-diffusion model of spatial pattern formation whose solutions can exhibit scale-invariance over any desired range for suitable choices of parameters in the model. The model does not invoke preset polarity or any other ad hoc distinction between cells and provides a solution to the French flag problem without sources at the boundary. Furthermore, patterns other than the pola...
متن کاملPattern formation in spatial games
Pattern formation is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and cooperation in nature and human society. We review recent works on the formation of spatial patterns in the framework of evolutionary games, involving rock-paper-scissors game and social dilemmas. The rock-paper-scissors game, as a basic paradigm for characterizing nonhierarchical cyclical competition in ecosystems, has been widely u...
متن کاملHierarchical Spatial Models
Methods for spatial and spatio-temporal modeling are becoming increasingly important in environmental sciences and other sciences where data arise from a process in an inherent spatial setting. Technological advances in remote sensing, monitoring networks, and other methods of collecting spatial data in recent decades have revolutionized scientific endeavor in fields such as agriculture, climat...
متن کاملSwitching Perspectives on Pattern Formation in Biology
As they move around, grow, develop, and generally go about their lives, living systems constantly create intricate patterns, ranging from a zebra’s stripes to the complex morphologies of bacterial colonies. Scientists have wondered how organisms can generate these patterns—and, moreover, do so reliably and reproducibly—for almost as long as biology has been studied. At least since Turing’s clas...
متن کاملModels for Pattern Formation in Development
We describe a number of general principles that underlie the formation of cortical maps such as occular dominance and orientation specificity. We show that most of the well-known mechanisms share certain generic properties. One question we address is what determines the periodicity of these maps. Models of Swindale and older models of Miller imposed the periodicity through cortical-cortical int...
