Figure 3. Properties of the uniform states (fixed points).

Figure 3

(a) Bifurcation diagram showing the B components of the fixed points Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic as a function of the total actin concentration A. SN and WI mark the locations of the saddle node and Hopf bifurcations. (b) Dispersion relation of the linearized system around Inline graphic, respectively representing the stability properties at three values of A: i (unstable to waves), WI (onset of wave instability), and ii (stable). The wave instability is identified by a positive real part and non-zero imaginary part of ω, whereas negative real parts of ω correspond to linearly stable uniform states.
