Abstract

In this study, we present a mathematical model with space-dependent parameters and appropriate boundary conditions which can simulate the realistic nonhomogeneous zebra pattern formation. The proposed model is based on the Lengyel–Epstein (LE) model and the finite difference method is used to solve the governing equation with appropriate boundary and initial conditions on a complex zebra domain. We focus on generating nonhomogeneous pattern of the common plains zebra (E. burchelli), which is geographically widespread species of zebra. Using the space-dependent parameters in the model, we can simulate the zebra pattern formation with various width stripes.
