Galerkin model for Turing patterns on a sphere.
We carry out a Lorenz-like truncation of reaction diffusion systems to investigate pattern formation on a spherical surface. Stability analysis suggests spots to be favored more than stripes in general. Numerical calculations on the truncated model are in agreement with the theoretical predictions.
