Discrete-mode Turing threshold for the Brusselator

ID: discrete-mode-turing-threshold-for-the-brusselator

On a specified finite domain, only its boundary-compatible wavenumbers can grow. Solve the Brusselator mode determinant for its neutral value of and minimize over those nonzero modes. Minimizing over all continuous instead gives the usual threshold and . The finite-mode minimum must still precede the homogeneous threshold to describe a Turing instability.
