Resonance-induced oscillons in a reaction-diffusion system.
A new type of oscillon that arises from interaction between subcritical Turing and wave instabilities is found in a system of reaction-diffusion equations. These oscillons can be induced resonantly by localized external periodic perturbations. This phenomenon may be useful for frequency selection and/or information processing.
