Pattern analysis in a benthic bacteria-nutrient system by Daniel Wetzel

“…We find that the system has a stable homogeneous steady state forrelatively large rates of food supply and ingestion, while this state becomes unstable if one of these rates decreases and Turing patterns such as hexagons and stripes start to exist. One of the main results of the present work is a global bifurcation diagram for solutions over a bounded 2D domain. …”
