An initial stripe is unstable to transverse perturbations.
The stripe meanders and undergoes tip-splitting until a final
labyrinthine pattern is reached.

Spiral-wave breakup
A spiral wave, intially computed in a stable parameter regime, breaks
and a new pattern emerges where new spiral waves are continuously
created and destroyed.

Spiral-wave breakup 2
A spiral wave, intially computed in a stable parameter regime, breaks
and a new pattern emerges where new spiral waves are continuously
created and destroyed.

Spot splitting
An almost planar pluse is unstable to transverse perturbations. Cusps
form along the front line and nucleate pairs of new spiral waves. The
spirals are unstable and break, creating new spiral pairs.

Spot splitting
A small spot grows, splits into two spots, and eventually fills
the entire domain with a disconnected labyrinthine pattern

Spot splitting 2
A small spot grows, splits into two spots, and eventually fills the
entire domain with a disconnected oscillating labyrinthine
pattern. The long-time behavior of this pattern is unknown.
