Local stability analysis of heterogeneous equilibrium patterns observed in delta‐notch signalling interaction (Invited)

Abstract Spatial pattern formation is one of the key phenomena in systems biology. This paper analyzes stability of spatial patterns generated by a mathematical model of socalled Delta‐Notch signalling pathways. This is done by applying techniques from robust control theory based on a spatially invariant structure of the signalling dynamics.
