Abstract
The dynamical behavior of species competing for a common resource is studied with a reaction-diffusion system based on cubic autocatalysis. Randomly seeded populations self-segregate to form a complex network of domains separated by distinct interfaces. For chaotic populations in one-dimensional media, the interfaces exhibit irregular motions on long time scales. In two-dimensional media, the interface motions are governed by curvature-induced drift.Keywords
