Abstract: The problem of pattern formation in a generic two species reaction--diffusion model is studied, under the hypothesis that only one species can diffuse. For such a system, the classical Turing instability cannot take place. At variance, by working in the generalized setting of a stochastic formulation to the inspected problem, Turing like patterns can develop, seeded by finite size corrections. General conditions are given for the stochastic Turing patterns to occur. The predictions of the theory are tested for a specific case study.

Review text

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.
