Isolating Patterns in Open Reaction–Diffusion Systems
Isolating Patterns in Open Reaction–Diffusion Systems
Abstract Realistic examples of reaction–diffusion phenomena governing spatial and spatiotemporal pattern formation are rarely isolated systems, either chemically or thermodynamically. However, even formulations of ‘open’ reaction–diffusion systems often neglect the role of domain boundaries. Most idealizations of closed reaction–diffusion systems employ no-flux boundary conditions, and often patterns will form up …
