In this paper, we consider the following one-dimensional Schnakenberg model with periodic heterogeneity:
$ \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u_t-\varepsilon ^2 u_{xx} = d\varepsilon -u+g(x)u^2 v , & x \in (-1,1) ,\; t>0, \\ \varepsilon v_t-Dv_{xx} = \frac{1}{2}-\frac{c}{\varepsilon}g(x)u^2 v , & x \in (-1,1) ,\; t>0, \\ u_x (\pm 1) = v_x (\pm 1) = 0 .\end{cases} \end{equation*} $
where
$ d,c,D>0 $
 are given constants,
$ \varepsilon >0 $
 is sufficiently small, and
$ g(x) $
 is a given positive function. Let
$ N \ge 1 $
 be an arbitrary natural number. We assume that
$ g(x) $
 is a periodic and symmetric function, namely
$ g(x) = g(-x) $
 and
$ g(x) = g(x+2N^{-1}) $
. We study the stability of
$ N $
-peak stationary symmetric solutions. In particular, we are interested in the effect of the periodic heterogeneity
$ g(x) $
 above on their stability. For the standard Schnakenberg model, namely the case of
$ g(x) = 1 $
, with
$ d = 0 $
, the stability of
$ N $
-peak solutions was established by Iron, Wei, and Winter in 2004. In this paper, we rigorously give a linear stability analysis and reveal the effect of the periodic heterogeneity on the stability of
$ N $
-peak solution. In particular, we investigate how
$ N $
-peak solutions is stabilized or destabilized by the effect of periodic heterogeneity compared with the case
$ g(x) = 1 $
.
Keywords: Pattern formation, Schnakenberg model, multi-peak solution, stability, reaction-diffusion systems.
