Analysis of a Non-linear Partial Difference Equation, and Its Application to Cardiac Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model of a strip of cardiac tissue consisting of a one-dimensional chain of cardiac units is derived in the form of a non-linear partial difference equation. Perturbation analysis is performed on this equation, and it is shown that regular perturbations are inadequate due to the appearance of secular terms. A singular perturbation procedure known as the method of multiple scales is shown to provide good agreement with numerical simulation except in the neighborhood of a singularity of the slow flow. The perturbation analysis is supplemented by a local numerical simulation near this singularity. The resulting analysis is shown to predict a “spatial bifurcation” phenomenon in which parts of the chain may be oscillating in period-2 motion while other parts may be oscillating in higher periodic motion or even chaotic motion.

متن کاملThe Stability of Non-standard Finite Difference Scheme for Solution of Partial Differential Equations of Fractional Order
Fractional derivatives and integrals are new concepts of derivatives and integrals of arbitrary order. Partial differential equations whose derivatives can be of fractional order are called fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs). Recently, these equations have received special attention due to their high practical applications. In this paper, we survey a rather general case of FPDE t...
