Abstract

In this paper, the two-dimensional (2D) Brusselator reaction-diffusion system is simulated numerically by the method of lines. The proposed method is implemented as a meshless method based on spatial trial functions in the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. For efficiency and stability reasons, we use the Newton basis introduced recently by Müller and Schaback. The method is shown to work in all interesting situations described by Hopf bifurcations and Turing patterns.
