Dynamics and stability of spike-type solutions to a one dimensional Gierer-Meinhardt model with sub-diffusion

چکیده
The dynamics and stability of spike-type patterns to a sub-diffusive Gierer-Meinhardt reaction – diffusion system is studied in a one dimensional spatial domain. A differential algebraic system (DAE) is derived to characterise the dynamics of an n-spike quasi-equilibrium pattern in the presence of subdiffusion. With sub-diffusive effects it is shown that quasi-equilibrium spike patterns exist for diffusivity ratios asymptotically smaller than for the case of regular diffusion, and that the spikes approach their equilibrium locations at an algebraic, rather than exponential, rate in time. A new non-local eigenvalue problem (NLEP) is derived to examine the stability of an n-spike pattern. For a two-spike pattern sub-diffusion has little effect on the competition instability threshold, whereas the threshold associated with an oscillatory instability of the spike profile increases significantly. Furthermore, for a multi-spike pattern it is shown that an asynchronous oscillatory instability of the spike profile, rather than a synchronous oscillatory instability characteristic of the case of regular diffusion, is the dominant instability when the anomaly index γ is below a certain threshold. Detailed numerical results are presented for the two-spike case.

In the limit of small activator diffusivity ε, the stability of symmetric k-spike equilibrium solutions to the Gierer-Meinhardt reaction-diffusion system in a one-dimensional spatial domain is studied for various ranges of the reaction-time constant τ ≥ 0 and the diffusivity D > 0 of the inhibitor field dynamics. A nonlocal eigenvalue problem is derived that determines the stability on an O(1) ...

Slowly varying control parameters, delayed bifurcations, and the stability of spikes in reactiondiffusion systems
We present three examples of delayed bifurcations for spike solutions of reaction-diffusion systems. The delay effect results as the system passes slowly from a stable to an unstable regime, and was previously analyzed in the context of ODE’s in [P.Mandel and T.Erneux, J.Stat.Phys 48(5-6) pp.1059-1070, 1987]. It was found that the instability would not be fully realized until the system had ent...
متن کاملExistence and Stability Analysis of Spiky Solutions for the Gierer-meinhardt System with Large Reaction Rates
We study the Gierer-Meinhardt system in one dimension in the limit of large reaction rates. First we construct three types of solutions: (i) an interior spike; (ii) a boundary spike and (iii) two boundary spikes. Second we prove results on their stability. It is found that an interior spike is always unstable; a boundary spike is always stable. The two boundary spike configuration can be either...
