The paper is devoted to analysis of far-from-equilibrium pattern formation in a system of a reaction-diffusion equation and an ordinary differential equation (ODE). Such systems arise in modeling of interactions between cellular processes and diffusing growth factors. Pattern formation results from hysteresis in the dependence of the quasi-stationary solution of the ODE on the diffusive component. Bistability alone, without hysteresis, does not result in stable patterns. We provide a systematic description of the hysteresis-driven stationary solutions, which may be monotone, periodic or irregular. We prove existence of infinitely many stationary solutions with jump discontinuity and their asymptotic stability for a certain class of reaction-diffusion-ODE systems. Nonlinear stability is proved using direct estimates of the model nonlinearities and properties of the strongly continuous diffusion semigroup.

Keywords: Reaction-diffusion-ODE system, pattern formation, bistable kinetics, hysteresis, stationary solution with jump discontinuity, asymptotic stability.

We see that Tu1 is decreasing, whereas $T_{\bar{u}}^{2}$ is increasing, which leads to $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} u_{0}} T_{\bar{u}}(u_0)<0$. Furthermore, we observe that $\lim_{u_0\to {\bar{u}}}T_{\bar{u}}{}(u_0)=0$ and $\lim_{u_0\to u_{\rm{min}}}T_{\bar{u}}{}(u_0)=\infty$

We see that for continuity of $ U(x) $ we need to have $ u_{e}^1=u_0^2 $ and $ u_{e}^2=u_0^3 $ fulfilled. Furthermore, we see how the partition of the interval is determined: $ x^1=T(\bar{u}^{{1}}, u_0^1), x^2=x^1+T(\bar{u}^{{2}}, u_0^2) $ and $ 1=x^2+T(\bar{u}^{{3}}, u_0^3) $. The layer positions are given by $ \bar{x}^{{1}}=T_1(\bar{u}^{{1}}, u_0^1) $ and $ \bar{x}^{{3}}=x^2+T_1(\bar{u}^{{3}}, u_0^3) $, because $ U(x) $ is increasing on the corresponding subintervals and $ \bar{x}^{{2}}=x^1+T_2(\bar{u}^{{2}}, u_0^2)=x^2-T_1(\bar{u}^{{2}}, u_0^3) $
