Description
Summary:For a model glycolytic diffusion-reaction system, an amplitude equation has been derived in the framework of a weakly nonlinear theory. The linear stability analysis of this amplitude equation interprets the structural transitions and stability of various forms of Turing structures. This amplitude equation also conforms to the expectation that time-invariant amplitudes in Turing structures are independent of complexing reaction with the activator species, whereas complexing reaction strongly influences Hopf-wave bifurcation.
