Alternative approaches to modeling of ordered spatial patterns

It is shown that ordered (in particular, periodic) patterns can be described not only by mathematical models of the Turing type, in which the period of the pattern is the intrinsic property of the model and doesn't practically depend of the concrete process on pattern formation, but also by models, which don't possess intrinsic periodicity. In the latter case periodicity is to a great extent determined by kinetics of pattern formation. This statement is demonstrated on the example of two different mathematical models.
