Spatial bifurcation refers to a phenomenon in dynamical systems where the stability and structure of solutions change as parameters vary, specifically within spatially extended systems. This concept is widely used in fields such as physics, biology, and ecology, where the spatial distribution of a system's components plays a crucial role in its behavior. In a typical bifurcation scenario, the system might exhibit different behaviors or patterns (such as periodic structures, waves, or steady states) in different regions of space.
