We study the effect of noise on dynamics of a single spike for the classical Gierer--Meinhardt model on a finite interval. When spatio-temporal noise is introduced in the equation for the activator, we derive a stochastic ODE that describes the...

A hybrid asymptotic-numerical approach is developed to study hotspot patterns for a three-component 1-D reaction-diffusion (RD) system that models urban crime with police intervention. Our analysis is focused on a scaling regime where there are two...
