Abstract A non-linear stability analysis using a multi-scale perturbation procedure is carried out on the practical Thomas reaction-diffusion mechanism which exhibits bifurcation to non-uniform states. The analytical results compare favourably with the numerical solutions. The sequential patterns generated by this model by variations in a parameter related to the reaction-diffusion domain indicate its capacity to represent certain key morphogenetic features required in a recent model by Kauffman for pattern formation in theDrosophila embryo.
