Dynamics of a depletion-type Gierer-Meinhardt model with Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction scheme

Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>A depletion-type reaction-diffusion Gierer-Meinhardt model with Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction scheme and the homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions is introduced and investigated in this paper. Firstly, the boundedness of positive solution of the parabolic system is given, and the constant steady state solutions of the model are exhibited by the Shengjin formulas. Through rigorous theoretical analysis, the stability of the corresponding positive constant steady state solution is explored. Next, a priori estimates, the properties of the nonconstant steady states, non-existence and existence of the nonconstant steady state solution for the corresponding elliptic system are investigated by some estimates and the Leray-Schauder degree theory, respectively. Then, some existence conditions are established and some properties of the Hopf bifurcation and the steady state bifurcation are presented, respectively. It is showed that the temporal and spatial bifurcation structures will appear in the reaction-diffusion model. Theoretical results are confirmed and complemented by numerical simulations.</p>
