Mechanisms for pattern formation in biological organisms and chemical reactions have been broadly studied in last half of past century, because of they were frequently observed in many experiments. Traditional static patterns on the plane are patches forming hexagons, stripes and inverted hexagonal patches. Frequently, they are studied using reactiondiffusion models. The equation of Swift-Hohenberg has also been a paradigm for the formation of these structures, and for studies of localized patterns. In this paper, the behavior of a new equation similar to Swift-Hohenberg is analyzed, being able to produce square patterns having different shapes and sizes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
