For a stable matrix A with real entries, sufficient and necessary conditions for A y D to be stable for all non-negative diagonal matrices D are obtained. Implications of these conditions for the stability and instability of constant steadystate solutions to reactionαdiffusion systems are discussed

We examine a mathematical formulation of the problem of a thin rod held against a source of chemical which diffuses into the rod and reacts with it. The velocity of the rod, which occurs as a coefficient in a coupled system of differential equations, is not known a priori but is to be determined as
A new result is derived which extends a known instability result for a class of reaction-diffusion equations to a corresponding system incorporating time delay effects. For a significant class of nonlinear equations it is shown that an unstable equilibrium solution of the reaction-diffusion system c
