Speed of pattern appearance versus pattern size. Behavior of ω⁺ as a function of k for n = 2, D = 0.01, r_a = 2.5, r_h = 7.0, and three different values of μ: 3.75 (green), 4.5 (red), and 6.5 (blue). ω⁺ presents only one maximum in k_max, whose particular value depends on the parameter set (D, μ, r_a, and r_h). For this particular set of parameter values, we can see that speed of pattern appearance, ω_max, increases with the typical size of the pattern.
