Pattern formation and spatial self-entrainment in bistable chemical systems.
We describe the formation of spatial structures generated by diffusive instabilities in bistable systems. The coupling between the different spatial modes emanating from the two homogeneous steady states can then give rise to self-parametric instabilities favoring the occurrence of resonant rhombic or quasiperiodic structures such as superlattices or quasicrystalline patterns.
متن کاملPattern Formation and Spatial Chaos in Lattice Dynamical Systems: I
We survey some recent advance in the theory of lattice dynamical systems, with both discretetime and continuous-time problems being considered. Among the topics discussed, are pattern formation and spatial chaos, bifurcation of regular patterns (checkerboards and stripes), traveling waves and propagation failure, and homoclinic orbits of ZZd actions.
متن کاملA Fractal Approach to Pattern Formation in Biological Systems
The paper discusses the connection between pattern formation and nonlinear dynamics, focusing on the similarity between discrete patterns and fractal structures, and then describes different solutions to model reaction-diffusion systems as representative processes in morphogenesis. The option for a discrete model and the steps to design it as a fractal structure is argued. Construction of appro...
متن کاملSpontaneous spatial fractal pattern formation in absorptive systems
We predict, for the first time to our knowledge, that purely-absorptive nonlinearity can support spontaneous spatial fractal pattern formation. A passive optical ring cavity with a thin slice of saturable absorber is analyzed. Linear stability analysis yields threshold curves for Turing (static) instabilities with features proposed as characteristics of potential fractal pattern formation. Nume...
