Network topology and Turing instabilities in small arrays of diffusively coupled reactors

Abstract We study the effect of the network structure on the diffusion-induced instability to nonuniform steady states in arrays of diffusively coupled reactors. The kinetics is given by the Lengyel–Epstein model, and we derive the conditions for Turing instabilities in all arrays of two, three, and four reactors.
