Abstract
In this paper, we study the spectra of asymmetric spike solutions to the Gierer-Meinhardt system. It has previously been shown that the spectra of such solutions may be determined by finding the generalized eigenvalues of matrices, which are determined by the positions of the spikes and various parameters from the system. We will examine the spectra of asymmetric solutions near the point at which they bifurcate off of a symmetric branch. We will confirm that all such solutions are unstable in a neighborhood of the bifurcation point and we derive an explicit expression for the leading order terms of the critical eigenvalues.
