Regular and Discontinuous Solutions in a Reaction-Diffusion Model for Hair Follicle Spacing

Solutions of a model reaction-diffusion system inspired by a model for hair follicle initiation in mice are constructed and analysed for the case of a one-dimensional domain. It is shown that all regular spatially heterogeneous solutions of the problem are unstable. Numerical tests show that the onl...
