Abstract
By means of numerical simulations, we study pattern dynamics in selected examples of inhomogeneous active media described by a reaction diffusion model of the activator-inhibitor type. We consider inhomogeneities corresponding to a variation in space of the (nonlinear) reaction characteristics of the system or the diffusion constants. Three different bidimensional systems are analyzed: an oscillatory medium in a square reactor with a circular central bistable domain, and cases of a bistable stripe immersed in an oscillatory medium in a trapezoidal reactor and in a rectangular reactor with inhomogeneous diffusion. The different types of complex behavior that arise in these systems are analyzed.
