Response functions of spiral waves in the FitzHugh-Nagumo system
Spiral waves are rotating solutions of nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems in two spatial dimensions. Due to the symmetries of the plane, a spiral wave can be shifted and rotated arbitrary, still remaining a solution to reaction-diffusion system. Introducing a symmetry-breaking perturbation of the reaction-diffusion equation, the spiral wave begins to drift, i.e. change its rotation phase and ...
متن کاملStanding waves in the FitzHugh-Nagumo model of cardiac electrical activity.
When excitable media are submitted to appropriate time dependent boundary conditions, a standing wavelike pattern can be observed in the system, as shown in recent experiments. In the present analysis, the physical mechanism explaining the occurrence of such space-time patterns is shown to be a competition between Ohmic diffusion and an action potential propagation across the system, coupled wi...
متن کاملCoherence Resonance in the FitzHugh-Nagumo system
The simplest models used to describe physical systems are often linear. However, several natural phenomena can only be accurately modeled by relatively complex nonlinear systems of equations. There is a wealth of interesting dynamics displayed by systems consisting of nonlinear elements, for example systems in which the dynamics depend delicately on the initial conditions, viz, chaos, and syste...
متن کاملAnalysis of the stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo system
In this paper we study a system of stochastic differential equations with dissipative nonlinearity which arise in certain neurobiology models. Besides proving existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on the initial datum, we shall be mainly concerned with the asymptotic behaviour of the solution. We prove the existence of an invariant ergodic measure ν associated with the transition semi...
متن کاملA study of wave propagation in the FitzHugh Nagumo system
An excitable medium has two key properties: a sufficiently large stimulus provokes an even bigger response (excitability), and immediately following a stimulus the medium cannot be excited (refractoriness). A large class of biological systems from cardiac tissue to slime mold are examples of excitable media. FitzHugh Nagumo (FHN) is the canonical model of excitable media. Its two variables are ...
