Howe ver\, typical theoretical studies distinguish between the two phenomena an d focus either on dissipative models or models obeying gradient flows\, re spectively. Using a three-variable dissipative reaction-diffusion system w ith mass conservation\, we show how pulses\, waves\, and (stationary) mesa s generically organize about high codimension bifurcations. Specifically\, we demonstrate the novelty of mass conservation\, which enters via a long -wavenumber bifurcation of a large-scale mode. Following the biological in terest\, we address the bistability between travelling wave and mesa solut ion branches\, which emerge from a codimension-2 bifurcation to a finite w avenumber Hopf and a conserved large-scale mode. Lastly\, through simulati ons of the reaction-diffusion system coupled to a model of cell deformatio ns\, we show how these solution types affect cell motility.\n DTSTART:20260112T210000Z DTEND:20260112T220000Z LOCATION:Room 1104\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Jack Hughes (Concordia) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/jack-hughes-concordia-370 231 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
