Introducing cross-diffusion into the Schnakenberg system reveals Turing instability conditions and allows for pattern formation, including hexagonal, stripe, and coexisting patterns, as shown by amplitude equations and numerical simulations.

This preprint studies a Schnakenberg reaction–diffusion system augmented with linear cross-diffusion, aiming to characterize how cross-diffusion affects the onset of Turing instability and the resulting spatiotemporal pattern types. Using analytical derivations, it obtains cross-diffusion-driven Turing instability conditions and then applies a multiple-scales method to derive amplitude equations near the critical Turing bifurcation, enabling more specific identification of parameter regions where hexagon-like, stripe-like, or coexistence patterns emerge. It further performs numerical simulations in both the Turing instability and Turing–Hopf regimes, and explores different initial conditions to understand the range and complexity of patterns. The main limitation stated is that the work is a preprint that has not yet been peer reviewed and lacks full-text details in the provided content. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract Schnakenberg system is a typical mathematical model to describe activator-depleted kinetics. In this paper, by introducing linear cross-diffusion into Schnakenberg system, we derive cross-diffusion-driven Turing instability conditions. It has been revealed that it is no longer necessary to have long-range inhibition and short-range activation for Turing instability with the help of cross-diffusion. Then the multiple scales method is applied to obtain the amplitude equations at the critical value of Turing bifurcation, which help us to derive parameter space more specific where certain patterns such as hexagon-like pattern, stripe-like pattern and the coexistence pattern will emerge. Furthermore, the numerical simulations in both Turing instability region and Turing-Hopf region provide an indication of the wealth of patterns that the system can exhibit. Besides, different initial conditions are employed to help better understanding the complex patterns.
