Fourier-Bessel analysis of patterns in a circular domain. (English) Zbl 1076.35535
Summary: This paper explores the use of the Fourier-Bessel analysis for characterizing patterns in a circular domain. A set of stable patterns is found to be well-characterized by the Fourier-Bessel functions. Most patterns are dominated by the principal Fourier-Bessel mode $$[n,m]$$ which has the largest Fourier-Bessel decomposition amplitude when the control parameter $$R$$ is close to the corresponding nontrivial root $$(\rho_{n,m})$$ of the Bessel function. Moreover, when the control parameter is chosen to be close to two or more roots of the Bessel function, the corresponding principal Fourier-Bessel modes compete to dominate the morphology of the patterns.
