✦ Synopsis

We consider a nonlinear reaction-diffusion system for the formation of animal coat patterns proposed by J.D. Murray. We approximate the nonlinear partial differential equations by an extension of the Peaceman-Rachford finite difference method for linear equations. We then run experiments where we execute our method until steady-state is reached to obtain a variety of animal coat patterns.

This paper reports on the development of a finite difference model of the sensitization process. The model can be applied to alloy systems in which diffusion of one component to and within the grain boundary determines the rate of precipitation in the boundary. An example application of the model to
