    In this paper, the problem of pattern formation in a generic two species reaction-diffusion birth-death model is studied under the hypothesis that only one species can diffuse. For such a system, the classical Turing instability cannot take place. In recent publications, the effect of the intrinsic noise was indeed shown to create stochastic patterns, in a region of the parameters for which macroscopically ordered structures do not occur. Several interesting conditions for the emergence of the Turing-like patterns are derived. The authors assume that stochastic Turing patterns can materialize if the power spectrum of fluctuations has at least a peak for a non-zero spatial wave number for the Fourier time frequency equal to zero. They prove that a non-trivial maximum of the power spectrum exists, if the system matches appropriate conditions. General conditions are given for the stochastic patterns to occur. They derive the Fokker-Planck equation that describes the fluctuations, calculate the power spectrum of fluctuations, and find the mathematical conditions for having stochastically driven patterns. The authors remark that there is no a priori guarantee that the emerging patterns are discernible by eye inspection from the background noise, while being revealed by a Fourier transform analysis. Predictions of the theory are tested for a specific case study.
