Spatiotemporal Patterns Induced by Turing-Hopf Interaction and Symmetry on a Disk

Abstract

Turing bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation are two important kinds of transitions giving birth to inhomogeneous solutions, in spatial or temporal ways. On a disk, these two bifurcations may lead to equivariant Turing-Hopf bifurcations. In this paper, normal forms for three kinds of Turing-Hopf bifurcations are given and the breathing, standing wave-like, and rotating wave-like patterns are found in numerical examples
