Towards Arithmetical Chips in Sub-Excitable Media: Cellular Automaton Models
Excitable chemical media are amongst most promising ‘wet’ computing devices capable for solving a wide ranging of tasks from optimization, computational geometry, image processing and robot control. The excitable media can also implement functionally complete sets of logical gates thus qualifying as (logically) universal computing systems. See theoretical background and details of laboratory im...
متن کاملDesign and control of wave propagation patterns in excitable media.
Intricate patterns of wave propagation are exhibited in a chemical reaction-diffusion system with spatiotemporal feedback. Wave behavior is controlled by feedback-regulated excitability gradients that guide propagation in specified directions. Waves interacting with boundaries and with other waves are observed when interaction terms are incorporated into the control algorithm. Spatiotemporal fe...
متن کاملWave Propagation in Micropolar Thermoelastic Diffusion Medium
The present investigation is concerned with the reflection of plane waves from a free surface of a micropolar thermoelastic diffusion half space in the context of coupled theory of thermoelastic diffusion. The amplitude ratios of various reflected waves are obtained in a closed form. The dependence of these amplitude ratios with an angle of propagation as well as other material parameter are sh...
متن کاملWave Propagation in Excitable Media with Randomly Distributed Obstacles
We study the effect of small, randomly distributed obstacles on wave propagation in two-dimensional (2D) and 3D excitable media described by the Aliev–Panfilov model. We find that increasing the number of obstacles decreases the conduction velocity of plane waves and decreases the effective diffusion coefficient in the eikonal curvature equation. The presence of obstacles also increases the ind...
متن کاملPropagation failure in excitable media
We study a mechanism of pulse propagation failure in excitable media where stable traveling pulse solutions appear via a subcritical pitchfork bifurcation. The bifurcation plays a key role in that mechanism. Small perturbations, externally applied or from internal instabilities, may cause pulse propagation failure ~wave breakup! provided the system is close enough to the bifurcation point. We d...
