The first time I ever took a graduate math course, I did my term project on precisely this theory. Analyzed the PDE's, did some numerical experiments on it, gave a lecture on it. I had to tell my audience "Well, we think this produces tiger stripes and giraffe spots, but honestly we're just blindly guessing." What a treat to read this! Shows that us mathematicians are often fifty years ahead of the times ;)
