【 摘 要 】

A wide range of physical systems exhibit labyrinthine patterns as transient or steady states. One of the routes by which labyrinths emerge is through the destabilization of a localized structure through a curvature instability. In this work, we will study the emergence of labyrinths through this mechanism in different physical contexts, including nonlinear cavity optics, vegetation dynamics and chemical reactions. Furthermore, it is shown that the resulting labyrinths can be classified depending on their connectivities.
