Abstract
An analysis is made of critical perturbations which initiate the evolution of instability in a monostable active medium described by a reaction-diffusion equation. A group-theoretical analysis of the problem yields an analytic expression for the energy of the critical perturbations. The results may be important for analyses of stability with respect to external perturbations of a wide range of active media.
