- What is reaction-diffusion system ?:
Reaction-diffusion systems are one of partial differential equations. They
are often used as mathematical models which correspond to several physical
phenomena, such as the spatio-temporal distribution of chemical substances
which are transformed into each other by chemical reactions and diffuse
randomly. This system can also describe dynamical phenomena not only in
cgemistry but also in biology, geology and physics. For m-componet chemical
substances, the system is represented by
where the diffusion coeficients d_j are non-negative and the nonlinear
term f_j are smooth functions..
- Patterns:
Diffusion is the movement of particles from the high density region to
the low density region. Thus it makes the distribution homogenize. We can
see that the ink is desolved into water. However, this observation is not
true if the number of chemical substances are increased. In this situation
many patterns are obserevd in the following figures: crystal groth and
the animal coat pattern.
