Complex patterns in reaction-diffusion systems: A tale of two front instabilities

Complex patterns in reaction-diffusion systems: A tale of two front instabilities

Two front instabilities in a reaction-diffusion system are shown to lead to the formation of complex patterns. The first is an instability to transverse modulations that drives the formation of labyrinthine patterns. The second is a nonequilibrium Ising-Bloch (NIB) bifurcation that renders a stationary planar front unstable and gives rise …
