n envelope method for analyzing sequential pattern formation
Cruywagen GC., Maini PK., Murray JD.
We examine sequential spatial pattern formation in a tissue interaction model for skin organ morphogenesis. Pattern formation occurs as a front sweeps across the domain leaving in its wake a steady state spatial pattern. Extensive numerical simulations show that these fronts travel with constant wave speed. By considering the envelope of the solution profile we present a novel method of calculating its wave speed.
