Resonant-pattern formation induced by additive noise in periodically forced reaction-diffusion systems

Abstract

We report frequency-locked resonant patterns induced by additive noise in periodically forced reaction-diffusion Brusselator model. In the regime of 2:1 frequency-locking and homogeneous oscillation, the introduction of additive noise, which is colored in time and white in space, generates and sustains resonant patterns of hexagons, stripes, and labyrinths which oscillate at half of the forcing frequency. Both the noise strength and the correlation time control the pattern formation. The system transits from homogeneous to hexagons, stripes, and to labyrinths successively as the noise strength is adjusted. Good frequency-locked patterns are only sustained by the colored noise and a finite time correlation is necessary. At the limit of white noise with zero temporal correlation, irregular patterns which are only nearly resonant come out as the noise strength is adjusted. The phenomenon induced by colored noise in the forced reaction-diffusion system is demonstrated to correspond to noise-induced Turing instability in the corresponding forced complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.

Additive noise-induced Turing transitions in spatial systems with application to neural fields and the Swift–Hohenberg equation

“…Such fluctuations may originate from thermal background activity and have been measured experimentally in spatial systems [44,45]. Further, spatially correlated fluctuations have been shown to yield pattern formation for multiplicative [18,[46][47][48] and additive noise [49][50][51][52]. The present work studies global fluctuations, which are homogeneous in space and uncorrelated in time.…”

Effect of noise on the pattern formation in an epidemic model

“…Here, we use the colored noise with an exponential time-correlated. That is, the noise term η(r, t) is introduced additively in space and time, which is the Ornstein-Uhlenbech process that obeys the following stochastic partial differential equation [29,30]:…”
