A reaction-diffusion system, based on the cubic autocatalytic reaction scheme, with the prescribed concentration boundary conditions is considered. The linear stability of the unique spatially homogeneous steady state solution is discussed in detail to reveal a necessary condition for the bifurcation of this solution. The spatially non-uniform stationary structures, especially bifurcating from the double eigenvalue, are studied by the use of Lyapunov-Schmidt technique and singularity theory. Further information about the multiplicity and stability of the bifurcation solutions are obtained. Numerical examples are presented to support our theoretical results.
