Chemotaxis-induced linear instabilities and pattern formation in a reaction-diffusion model

We study linear instabilities and pattern formation in a spatially extended Selkov model for glycolysis with diffusion and chemotactic interactions between two species. Linear stability analysis reveals two distinct bifurcations: a zero-wavevector, finite-frequency Hopf bifurcation leading to spatially homogeneous osci...
