A recent paper by Das [Phys. Rev. E 92, 052914 (2015)] shows that spatiotemporal chaos of the intermittency type can disappear as the advective flow is increased. This study, however, refers to a single point in the space of kinetic parameters of the original Gray-Scott model. Here we show that the wealth of patterns increases substantially as some of these parameters are changed. In addition to spatiotemporal intermittency, defect-mediated turbulence can also be found. In all cases, however, the chaotic behavior is seen to disappear as the advective flow is increased, following a scenario similar to what was reported in our earlier work [I. Berenstein and C. Beta, Phys. Rev. E 86, 056205 (2012)] as well as by Das. We also point out that a similar phenomenon can be found in other reaction-diffusion-advection models, such as the Oregonator model for the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction under flow conditions.}, language = {en} } @misc{LeproNagelKlumppetal.2019, author = {Lepro, Valentino and Nagel, Oliver and Klumpp, Stefan and Lipowsky, Reinhard and Beta, Carsten}, title = {Cooperative Transport by Amoeboid Cells}, series = {Biophysical journal}, volume = {116}, journal = {Biophysical journal}, number = {3}, publisher = {Cell Press}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {0006-3495}, doi = {10.1016/j.bpj.2018.11.682}, pages = {122A -- 122A}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @misc{StichBeta2019, author = {Stich, Michael and Beta, Carsten}, title = {Time-Delay Feedback Control of an Oscillatory Medium}, series = {Biological Systems: Nonlinear Dynamics Approach}, volume = {20}, journal = {Biological Systems: Nonlinear Dynamics Approach}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-16585-7}, issn = {2199-3041}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-16585-7_1}, pages = {1 -- 17}, year = {2019}, abstract = {The supercritical Hopf bifurcation is one of the simplest ways in which a stationary state of a nonlinear system can undergo a transition to stable self-sustained oscillations. At the bifurcation point, a small-amplitude limit cycle is born, which already at onset displays a finite frequency. If we consider a reaction-diffusion system that undergoes a supercritical Hopf bifurcation, its dynamics is described by the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE). Here, we study such a system in the parameter regime where the CGLE shows spatio-temporal chaos. We review a type of time-delay feedback methods which is suitable to suppress chaos and replace it by other spatio-temporal solutions such as uniform oscillations, plane waves, standing waves, and the stationary state.}, language = {en} }
