Front propagation and pattern formation in anisotropic bistable media
The effects of diffusion anisotropy on pattern formation in bistable media are studied using a FitzHugh-Nagumo reaction-diffusion model. A relation between the normal velocity of a front and its curvature is derived and used to identify distinct spatiotemporal patterns induced by the diffusion anisotropy. In a wide parameter range anisotropy is found to have an ordering effect: initial patterns...
متن کاملFront Propagation in Evanescent Media
We investigate the time evolution of waves in evanescent media generated by a source within this medium and observed at some distance away from the location of the source. The aim is to find a velocity which describes a causal process and is thus, for a medium with relativistic dispersion, limited by the velocity of light. The wave function consists of a broad frequency forerunner generated by ...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Wave Propagation in Layered Periodic Media
We study two-dimensional wave propagation in materials whose properties vary periodically in one direction only. High order homogenization is carried out to derive a dispersive effective medium approximation. One-dimensional materials with constant impedance exhibit no effective dispersion. We show that a new kind of effective dispersion may arise in two dimensions, even in materials with const...

متن کاملWave propagation in a one-dimensional randomly perturbed periodic medium
We study the variance of the solution of a periodic randomly perturbed one-dimensional Schrödinger operator after propagation through N periods. It is shown that if the frequency of propagation lies inside the band, then the total variance is proportional to Nσ 2, where σ is the intensity of the white noise. However, if the wave frequency is close to the band edge (where the transfer matrix has...
