Abstract

In this paper we consider the stationary problem for a reaction-diffusion system of activator-inhibitor type, which models biological pattern formation, in an axially symmetric domain. It is shown that the system has multi-peak stationary solutions such that the activator is localized around some boundary points if the activator diffuses very slowly and the inhibitor diffuses rapidly enough.
