Nonlinear stability results for stationary solutions of reaction-diffusion-ODE systems

Reaction-diffusion-ODE systems are emerging in modeling of biological pattern formation based on the coupling of diffusive and non-diffusive spatially heterogeneous processes. They may exhibit patterns with singularities such as jump-discontinuities. This work provides nonlinear stability and instab...

Description
Summary:Reaction-diffusion-ODE systems are emerging in modeling of biological pattern formation based on the coupling of diffusive and non-diffusive spatially heterogeneous processes. They may exhibit patterns with singularities such as jump-discontinuities. This work provides nonlinear stability and instability conditions for bounded stationary solutions of reaction-diffusion-ODE systems consisting of m ODEs coupled with k reaction-diffusion equations. We characterize the spectrum of the linearized operator and relate its spectral properties to the corresponding semigroup properties. Considering the function spaces L∞(Ω)m+k,L∞(Ω)m×C(Ω‾)k and C(Ω‾)m+k, we establish a sign condition on the spectral bound of the linearized operator, which implies nonlinear stability or instability of the stationary pattern.
