From: On the repulsive interaction between localised vegetation patches in scarce environments

Interaction of two localised patches, top panels interaction-redistribution model Eq. (3). (a) Two localised patches separates by R0(t) distance. (b) Temporal evolution of the distance between the localised patches R0(t) with periodic boundary conditions. The dotted line corresponds to numerical data, while the solid line to the curve fitting by equation \({R}_{0}(t)/w=(1/\gamma )\,ln\,(At)\), with γ and A as fitting parameters. Simulation parameters used are η = 0.12, κ = 0.6, Δ = 0.02, Γ = 0.5, and α = 0.125.
