Interconnected Turing patterns in three dimensions.
We study numerically the Turing pattern in three dimensions in a FitzHugh-Nagumo-type reaction-diffusion system. We have found that interconnected periodic domain structures such as a gyroid, Fddd, and perforated lamellar structures appear in three dimensions, which never exist in lower dimensions. The stability analysis of these structures is also performed by means of a mode expansion.
