Abstract

A new type of mesh generator is developed by using a self-organized pattern in a reaction-diffusion system. The system is the Gray-Scott model, which creates a spot pattern in a specific parameter region. The spots correspond to nodes of a mesh. The mesh generator has several advantages: the algorithm is simple and processes to improve the mesh, such as smoothing, (locally) addition, and removal of nodes, are automatically performed by the system.
