Pattern formation in nonlinear complex systems is one of the central problems of the natural, social and technological sciences. In this paper, we consider a mathematical model of predator–prey interaction subject to self as well as cross-diffusion, arising in processes described by a system...

We investigate activator–inhibitor systems in two spatial dimensions with a non-local coupling, for which the interaction strength decreases with the lattice distance as a power-law. By varying a single parameter we can pass from a local (Laplacian) to a global (all-to-all) coupling type. We...

In an earlier study [J.C. Lewis, H. Wheeler, Physica A 271 (1999) 63–86] of the dependence on jump probability p of the rates of diffusion-controlled reactions on simple cubic lattices in dimension 2≤d≤4 we found that the dependence was non-linear, which is not in accord with what would be...

Here we study stochastic resonance (SR) in a spatially extended system described by a reaction–diffusion equation for a scalar (activator-like) field including a nonlocal contribution. We assume that such a contribution arises from an effective adiabatic elimination of an auxiliary...

A one-dimensional reaction–diffusion model consisting of two species of particles and vacancies on a ring is introduced. The number of particles in one species is conserved while in the other species it can fluctuate because of creation and annihilation of particles. It has been shown that the...

We present a simple reaction-diffusion model for two variables. The model was originally designed to have a stable localized solution for a range of parameters as a consequence of the coexistence of a stable limit cycle and a stable fixed point. We classify the spatially homogeneous solutions of...

In this work, rates of the diffusion-controlled annihilation reaction A+A→nothing are studied by stochastic simulation as functions of jump probability on d-dimensional cubic lattices for d=2,3, and 4, at low densities. Standard bimolecular kinetics are observed for d=3 and 4. Small but...

We consider a hierarchical set of dynamical systems, each of which may support individual pattern formation processes. In the limit case of weak top-down interactions it provides a suitable framework for the design of self-organizing scenarios both from constructional and evolutionary...
