Pattern dynamics and Turing instability induced by self-super-cross-diffusive predator-prey model via amplitude equations

Abstract

Incorporating self-diffusion and super-cross diffusion factors into the modeling approach enhances efficiency and realism by having a substantial impact on the scenario of pattern formation. Accordingly, this work analyzes self and super-cross diffusion for a predator-prey model. First, the stability of equilibrium points is explored. Utilizing stability analysis of local equilibrium points, we stabilize the properties that guarantee the emergence of the Turing instability. Weakly nonlinear analysis is used to get the amplitude equations at the Turing bifurcation point (WNA). The stability analysis of the amplitude equations establishes the conditions for the formation of small spots, hexagons, huge spots, squares, labyrinthine, and stripe patterns. Analytical findings have been validated using numerical simulations. Extensive data that may be used analytically and numerically to assess the effect of self-super-cross diffusion on a variety of predator-prey systems.
