title: Asymptotic methods for reaction-diffusion systems: past and present.
abstract: A brief historical survey of the development of asymptotic and analytical methodologies for the analysis of spatio-temporal patterns in reaction-diffusion (RD) and related systems is given. Although far from complete, the bibliography is hopefully representative of some of the advances in this area over the past 40 years. Within the scope of this survey, some of the key research contributions of Lee Segel are highlighted.
