We study the spectrum of a new class of nonlocal eigenvalue problems (NLEPs) that characterize the linear stability properties of localized spike solutions to the singularly perturbed two-component Gierer-Meinhardt (GM) reaction-diffusion (RD) system with a fixed time-delay $T$ in only the nonlinear autocatalytic activator kinetics. Our analysis of this model is motivated by the computational study of Seirin Lee et al. [Bull. Math. Bio., 72(8), (2010)] on the effect of gene expression time delays on spatial patterning for both the GM and some related RD models. For various limiting forms of the GM model, we show from a numerical study of the associated NLEP, together with an analytical scaling law analysis valid for large delay $T$, that a time-delay in only the activator kinetics is stabilizing in the sense that there is a wider region of parameter space where the spike solution is linearly stable than when there is no time delay. This enhanced stability behavior with a delayed activator kinetics is in marked contrast to the de-stabilizing effect on spike solutions of having a time-delay in both the activator and inhibitor kinetics. Numerical results computed from the RD system with delayed activator kinetics are used to validate the theory for the 1-D case.

Figure 1.  Left panel: The positive real eigenvalue $\lambda_0(T)$ of the delayed local problem $L_\mu\Phi = \lambda\Phi$ when $N = 1$ as obtained by solving (3.4) numerically with $l = 0$. Right panel: all the paths of complex-valued spectra of $L_\mu$ in $\mbox{Re}(\lambda)\geq 0$ for $T_{\textrm{H}}^{1}\leq T \leq T_{\textrm{H}}^{5}$, as computed from (3.4) for $l = 0$. Here $T_{\textrm{H}}^{j}$ for $j\geq 1$ is the $j$-th value of $T$ where $L_\mu$ has a pure imaginary eigenvalue $\lambda = i\lambda_I$ with $\lambda_I\approx 2.1015$ (see (3.10)). The path with imaginary eigenvalue when $T = T_{\textrm{H}}^j$ is labeled by $\lambda_j$. For even larger values of $T$, these paths all tend to the origin $\lambda = 0$, but in the half-space $\mbox{Re}(\lambda)>0$. For each path, we also plot its continuation into $\mbox{Re}(\lambda) < 0$ for smaller delays

The spot pattern is linearly stable for all $\beta <1$ and for $\tau < \tau_H$ when $\beta>1$. From bottom to top, the various dashed curves are HB thresholds for $T = 1$, $T = 2$, $T = 5$ and $T = 10$. The thin solid curve is the asymptotic scaling law (5.12) for $\tau_H$ when $T = 10$.
