Abstract
We consider a model reaction-diffusion system with two coupled layers in which one of the components in a layer is parametrically driven by a periodic force. On perturbation of a homogeneous stable steady state, the system exhibits parametric instability inducing synchronization in temporal oscillation at half the forcing frequency in absence of diffusion and spatiotemporal patterns in presence of diffusion, when strength of parametric forcing and the strength of coupling are kept above their critical thresholds. We have formulated a general scheme to derive analytically the critical thresholds and dispersion relation to locate the unstable spatial modes lying between the tilted Arnold tongue in the amplitude-frequency plot. Full numerical simulations on Gierer-Meinhardt activator-inhibitor model corroborate our theoretical analysis on parametric instability-induced antiphase synchronization in chemical oscillation and spatiotemporal pattern formation, between the two layers.
