Coexistence of activator and inhibitor for Brusselator diffusion system in chemical or biochemical reactions

Abstract In this paper, we consider a reaction–diffusion system known as the Brusselator model with homogenous Neumann boundary conditions. The model is a system of two differential equations which describes a type of complex chemical or biochemical reaction system. We mainly study the coexistence of non-constant positive solutions to the model.
