Abstract

A non-linear reaction diffusion model of a negative feedback epigenetic control system is presented. The model involves synthesis of the mitotic inducing and inhibiting proteins, simultaneously with intercellular self-diffusion and cross-diffusion of the latter only. The importance of negative cross-diffusion for creating a regular dissipative structure is shown. A bifurcation analysis of the non-linear diffusive system has been performed and it is concluded that bifurcation is supercritical. Lastly, using Liapunov's direct method, it is shown that the pattern evolved by the system is globally asymptotically stable.
