Bifurcation points for a reaction-diffusion system with two inequalities

摘要

We consider a reaction-diffusion system of activator-inhibitor or substrate-depletion type which is subject to diffusion-driven instability. We show that obstacles (e.g. a unilateral membrane) for both quantities modeled in terms of inequalities introduce a new bifurcation of spatially non-homogeneous steady states in the domain of stability of the trivial solution of the corresponding classical problem without obstacles.
