On the dynamics of a forced reaction-diffusion model for biological pattern formation.
Ideas from the theory of dynamical systems are applied in biological pattern formation. By considering a simple reaction-diffusion model subjected to an external excitation, we find that the system can give rise to a great variety of periodic, quasiperiodic, and chaotic evolutions.
