Pattern formations in two-dimensional Gray-Scott model: existence of single-spot solutions and their stability

Abstract The Gray–Scott model has been studied extensively in recent years. However, most of the results are in one dimension. In this paper, we study the 2D Gray–Scott system. We first construct two single-spot solutions and then we establish the stability and instability of such solutions in terms of the parameters involved.
