Abstract:
The effect of spatially correlated noise on Turing structures is analyzed both experimentally and numerically. Using the photosensitive character of the chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid reaction-diffusion system, spatial randomness is introduced in the system. In the presence of noise, Turing patterns appear and are stable at levels of average illumination that would be more than sufficient to suppress pattern formation in the case of homogeneous illumination.
