Boundary effects on the structural stability of stationary patterns in a bistable reaction-diffusion system

We study a piecewise linear version of a one-component, two-dimensional bistable reaction-diffusion system subjected to partially reflecting boundary conditions, with the aim of analyzing the structural stability of its stationary patterns. Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are included as l...

Sumario:We study a piecewise linear version of a one-component, two-dimensional bistable reaction-diffusion system subjected to partially reflecting boundary conditions, with the aim of analyzing the structural stability of its stationary patterns. Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are included as limiting cases. We find a critical line in the space of the parameters which divides different dynamical behaviors. That critical line merges as the locus of the coalescence of metastable and unstable nonuniform structures.
