Abstract:
The renormalization group is a set of tools that can be used to incorporate the effect of fluctuations in a dynamical system as a rescaling of the system's parameters. Here, we apply the renormalization group to a pattern-forming stochastic cubic autocatalytic reaction-diffusion model and compare its predictions with numerical simulations. Our results demonstrate a good agreement within the range of validity of the theory and show that external noise can be used as a control parameter in such systems.
