By starting with a reaction-diffusion equation a mapping model for the continuous system is proposed. The transition from the uniform state to the non-uniform one occurs at the same value of the diffusion constant for the mapping model as for the original reaction-diffusion equation if the transition exists. The mapping model is further studied by adopting the logistic model in one-dimensional space with a periodic boundary condition. Equal time spectra in wave number space and power spectra for several values of wave numbers are numerically obtained. A comparison of the numerical results of the equal time spectra with a simple theory is made to give a satisfactory agreement for large wave numbers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
