In a recent study (K.J. Painter and T. Hillen, Spatio-temporal chaos in a chemotaxis model, Physica D, 240 (4), 363-375, 2011) a model for chemotaxis incorporating logistic growth was investigated for its pattern formation properties. In particular, a variety of complex spatio-temporal patterning was found, including stationary, periodic and chaotic. Complicated dynamics appear to arise through a sequence of ``merging and emerging'' events: the merging of two neighbouring aggregates or the emergence of a new aggregate in an open space. In this paper we focus on a time-discrete dynamical system motivated by these dynamics, which we call the merging-emerging system (MES). We introduce this new class of set-valued dynamical systems and analyse its capacity to generate similar ``pattern formation'' dynamics. The MES shows remarkably close correspondence with patterning in the logistic chemotaxis model, strengthening our assertion that the characteristic length scales of merging and emerging are responsible for the observed dynamics. Furthermore, the MES describes a novel class of pattern-forming discrete dynamical systems worthy of study in its own right.
