I show stable, localized, single and multi-spot patterns of three classes -stationary, moving, and rotatingthat exist within a limited range of parameter values in the two-dimensional Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion model with σ = Du/Dv = 2. These patterns exist in domains of any size, and appear to derive their stability from a constructive reinforcement effect of the standing waves that surround any feature. There are several common elements -including a spot that behaves as a quasiparticle, a U-shaped stripe, and a ring or annulus, or a portion thereof -which combine to form a great variety of stable structures. These patterns interact with each other in a variety of ways. There are similarities to other reaction-diffusion systems and to physical experiments; I offer several suggestions for further research.
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.
