Pattern Dynamics of a Multi-Component Reaction-diffusion System: Differentiation of Replicating Spots
نویسندگان
چکیده
Replication and differentiation of spots in a class of reaction–diffusion equations are studied by extending the Gray–Scott model with self-replicating spots so that it includes many chemical species. By examining many possible reaction networks, the behavior of this model is categorized into three types: replication of homogeneous fixed spots, replication of oscillatory spots, and differentiation from “multipotent spots”. These multipotent spots either replicate or differentiate into other types of spots with different fixed-point dynamics, and as a result, an inhomogeneous pattern of spots is formed. This differentiation process of spots is analyzed in terms of the loss of chemical diversity and decrease of the local Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy. Initial condition dependence and robustness of a pattern against macroscopic perturbation are also analyzed. Relevance of the results to developmental cell biology is also discussed.

Localized patterns have been observed in many reaction-diffusion systems. One well-known such system is the two-component Gray-Scott model, which has been shown numerically to exhibit a rich variety of localized spatiotemporal patterns including, standing spots, oscillating spots, self-replicating spots, etc. This thesis concentrates on analyzing the localized pattern formation in this model th...

Reaction-diffusion equation model for a 2dimensional gas discharge system is introduced in relationship with the recent experiment by Nasuno [1][2]. The model shows formation of spots, molecule-like organization of a cluster of spots, moving of spots, and intermittent collapse and recreation of spots, in agreement with experiments. The pattern dynamics are classified into distributed, localized...

The Cellular Automata method has been used to simulate the pattern formation of the Schlögl model as a bistable Reaction-Diffusion System. Both microscopic and macroscopic Cellular Automata approaches have been considered and two different methods for obtaining the probabilities in the microscopic approach have been mentioned. The results show the tendency of the system towards the more sta...
