  1. It is shown that for any positive integer \begin{document}$$ n \ge 3 $$\end{document}, there is a stable irreducible \begin{document}$$ n\times n $$\end{document} matrix \begin{document}$ A $$\end{document} with \begin{document}$$ 2n+1-\lfloor\frac{n}{3}\rfloor $$\end{document} nonzero entries exhibiting Turing instability. Moreover, when \begin{document}$$ n = 3 $$\end{document}, the result is best possible, i.e., every \begin{document}$$ 3\times 3 $$\end{document} stable matrix with five or fewer nonzero entries will not exhibit Turing instability. Furthermore, we determine all possible \begin{document}$$ 3\times 3 $$\end{document} irreducible sign pattern matrices with 6 nonzero entries which can be realized by a matrix \begin{document}$$ A $$\end{document}$ that exhibits Turing instability.
