Oscillatory pulses in FitzHugh-Nagumo type systems with cross-diffusion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study FitzHugh-Nagumo type reaction-diffusion systems with linear cross-diffusion terms. Based on an analytical description using piecewise linear approximations of the reaction functions, we completely describe the occurrence and properties of wavy pulses, patterns of relevance in several biological contexts, in two prototypical systems. The pulse wave profiles arising in this treatment contain oscillatory tails similar to those in travelling fronts. We find a fundamental, intrinsic feature of pulse dynamics in cross-diffusive systems--the appearance of pulses in the bistable regime when two fixed points exist.

Stability of Traveling Pulses with Oscillatory Tails in the FitzHugh-Nagumo System
The FitzHugh-Nagumo equations are known to admit fast traveling pulses that have monotone tails and arise as the concatenation of Nagumo fronts and backs in an appropriate singular limit, where a parameter ε goes to zero. These pulses are known to be nonlinearly stable with respect to the underlying PDE. Recently, the existence of fast pulses with oscillatory tails was proved for the FitzHugh-N...
متن کاملPattern Formation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo Model: Cellular Automata Approach
FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model is a famous Reaction-Diffusion System which first introduced for the conduction of electrical impulses along a nerve fiber. This model is also considered as an abstract model for pattern formation. Here, we have used the Cellular Automata method to simulate the pattern formation of the FHN model. It is shown that the pattern of this model is very similar to those...
متن کاملFast Pulses with Oscillatory Tails in the FitzHugh-Nagumo System
Numerical studies indicate that the FitzHugh–Nagumo system exhibits stable traveling pulses with oscillatory tails. In this paper, the existence of such pulses is proved analytically in the singular perturbation limit near parameter values where the FitzHugh–Nagumo system exhibits folds. In addition, the stability of these pulses is investigated numerically, and a mechanism is proposed that exp...
متن کاملChaotic Pulses for Discrete Reaction Diffusion Systems
Existence and dynamics of chaotic pulses on 1D lattice are discussed. Traveling pulses arise typically in reaction diffusion systems like the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations. Such pulses annihilate when they collide each other. A new type of traveling pulse has been found recently in many systems where pulses bounce off like elastic balls. We consider the behavior of such a localized pattern on 1D la...
متن کاملSynchronization and Control of a Network of Coupled Reaction-diffusion Systems of Generalized Fitzhugh-nagumo Type
We consider a network of reaction diffusion systems of generalized FitzHugh-Nagumo type, where the cubic function is replaced by a polynomial function with odd degree. We deal with asymptotic behaviour and synchronization of the whole network. These results extend a previous work in which we considered particular systems of FitzHugh Nagumo type.
