Abstract

It is shown that for any positive integer $ n \ge 3 $, there is a stable irreducible $ n\times n $ matrix $ A $ with $ 2n+1-\lfloor\frac{n}{3}\rfloor $ nonzero entries exhibiting Turing instability. Moreover, when $ n = 3 $, the result is best possible, i.e., every $ 3\times 3 $ stable matrix with five or fewer nonzero entries will not exhibit Turing instability. Furthermore, we determine all possible $ 3\times 3 $ irreducible sign pattern matrices with 6 nonzero entries which can be realized by a matrix $ A $ that exhibits Turing instability.
