description In this paper, the Fourier spectral method is used to solve the fractional-in-space nonlinear coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo model.Numerical simulation is carried out to elucidate the diffusion behavior of patterns for the fractional 2D and 3D FitzHugh–Nagumo model. The results of numerical experiments are consistent with the theoretical results of other scholars, which verifies the accuracy of the method. We show that stable spatio-temporal patterns can be sustained for a long time; these patterns are different from any previously obtained in numerical studies. Here, we show that behavior patterns can be described well by the fractional FitzHugh–Nagumo and Gray–Scott models, which have unique properties that integer models do not have. Results show that the Fourier spectral method has strong competitiveness, reliability, and solving ability for solving 2D and 3D fractional-in-space nonlinear reaction-diffusion models.
