Localized patterns in reaction-diffusion systems.
We discuss a variety of experimental and theoretical studies of localized stationary spots, oscillons, and localized oscillatory clusters, moving and breathing spots, and localized waves in reaction-diffusion systems. We also suggest some promising directions for future research in this area.
