A conceptual minimal model demonstrating spatially heterogeneous wave regimes
interpreted as pursuit-evasion in predator-prey system is constructed and investigated. The
model is based on the earlier proposed hypothesis that taxis accelerations of prey and
predators are proportional to the density gradient of another population playing a role
of taxis stimulus. Considering acceleration rather than immediate velocity allows
obtaining realistic solutions even while ignoring variations of total abundances of both
modelled populations. Linear analysis of the model shows that stationary homogeneous
regime becomes oscillatory unstable with respect to small heterogeneous perturbations
if either taxis activities or total population abundances are high enough. The ability
for active directed movement of both prey and predators is the necessary condition for
spatial self-organization. Numerical simulations illustrate analytical results.
The relation between the proposed model and conventional two-component systems with
cross-diffusion is discussed.
