The role of spatial dimension in the emergence of localized radial patterns from a Turing instability

Abstract:

The emergence of localized radial patterns from a Turing instability has been well studied in two- and three-dimensional settings and predicted for higher spatial dimensions. We prove the existence of localized (𝑛+1)-dimensional radial patterns in general two-component reaction–diffusion systems near a Turing instability, where 𝑛>0 is taken to be a continuous parameter. We determine the explicit dependence of each pattern’s radial profile on the dimension 𝑛 through the introduction of (𝑛+1)-dimensional Bessel functions, revealing a deep connection between the formation of localized radial patterns in different spatial dimensions.
