We present a condition that guarantees spatial uniformity for the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a reaction-diffusion PDE with Neumann boundary conditions. This condition makes use of the Jacobian matrix of the reaction terms and the second Neumann eigenvalue of the Laplacian operator on the given spatial domain, and eliminates the global Lipschitz assumptions commonly used in mathematical biology literature. We then derive numerical procedures that employ linear matrix inequalities to certify this condition, and illustrate these procedures on models of several biochemical reaction networks. Finally, we present an analog of this PDE result for the synchronization of a network of identical ODE models coupled by diffusion terms. From a systems biology perspective, the main contribution of the paper is to blend analytical and numerical tools from nonlinear systems and control theory to derive a relaxed and verifiable condition for spatial uniformity of biological processes.
