We consider a reaction–diffusion system of 2 × 2 equations modeling the spread of early tumor cells. The existence of weak solutions is ensured by a classical argument of Faedo–Galerkin method. Then, we present a numerical scheme for this model based on a finite volume method. We establish the existence of discrete solutions to this scheme, and we show that it converges to a weak solution. Finally, some numerical simulations are reported with pattern formation examples.

Abstract This paper provides the essential mathematical basis for computational studies of space fractional reaction-diffusion systems, from biological and numerical analysis perspectives. We adopt linear stability analysis to derive conditions on the choice of parameters that lead to biologically meaningful equilibria. The stability analysis has a lot of implications for understanding the various spatiotemporal and chaotic behaviors of the species in the spatial domain. For the solution of the full reaction-diffusion system modelled by the fractional partial differential equations, we introduced the Fourier transform method to discretize in space and advance the resulting system of ordinary differential equation in time with the fourth-order exponential time differencing scheme. Numerical results.
