Pattern formation is quite recurrent in the natural world such as in the stripes or dots in some animals' coat. The morphogen hypothesis introduced by Turing in 1952 has been used and studied extensively to explain such patterns on several different...

Motivated by cotyledon patterns in conifer embryos, we study pattern emergence in solutions of systems reaction-diffusion partial differential equations on evolving curved surfaces. We start by reviewing results on a static domain. Then, we go over...
