Pattern formation in a nonequilibrium phase transition for a generalized Burgers–Fisher equation

Аннотация

A nonequilibrium phase transition of a generalized Burgers–Fisher equation describing biological pattern formation with a periodic boundary condition is examined. In the presence of a weak external force, some approximate bifurcation solutions near a critical point and new spatially periodic patterns are obtained by using the perturbation method in an infinite-dimensional space. The result shows that the external force delays the bifurcation.
