This encompasses dynamics where chemical species diffuse, interact with each other, and undergo chemical reactions driven out-of-equilibrium by external chemostats. We find analytically that these instabilities can be of two types: instabilities caused by molecular interactions (Cahn-Hilliard type), and instabilities caused by multimolecular out-of-equilibrium chemical reactions (Turing type). Furthermore, we identify a class of chemical reaction networks, extending beyond unimolecular networks, that can only undergo Cahn-Hilliard instabilities. We illustrate our analytical findings with numerical simulations on two reaction-diffusion models, each displaying one of the two types of instability.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-04-13T10:54:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "instability", "multiple routes", "open non-ideal reaction-diffusion systems", "undergo chemical reactions driven out-of-equilibrium", "multimolecular out-of-equilibrium chemical reactions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
