Parameter space analysis, pattern sensitivity and model comparison for Turing and stationary flow-distributed waves (FDS) (Q5950432)

This paper is devoted to the: (a) comparing the parameter regimes in which diffusion-distribution structures (FDS) occurs with those in which Turing pattern occur, focusing on their parameter sensitivity; (b) authors assessment of the influence on FDS and Turing instabilities of the form of the nonlinearity in the cinetics. Note that all analysis of the authors is carried out on a one-dimensional domain. They find that FDS yield a richer class of patterns than those obtained from Turing instability, and the resultant patterns are supported in a larger parameter space. Further they investigate the solution properties away from the primary FDS bifurcation point. They conclude that FDS mechanism is a robust morphogenetic mechanism which is more flexible in comparison with the classical Turing scenario and discuss the possible applications in biology.
