摘要
The Gierer-Meinhardt reaction-diffusion model is analyzed using a spectralcollocation method. This reaction-diffusion system is governed by activator and inhibitorconcentrations. Initially, the system is considered in one dimension and thenin two dimensions;numerical results are presented for both cases. The algorithmiccomplexity and accuracy are compared to those of a moving finite element method.Finally, observations are made concerning when to use the proposed spectral methodas opposed to the established moving mesh method.
