چکیده
This paper introduces a new cellular automaton model of excitable media with improved treatments of (1) diiusion and wave propagation, and (2) slow dynamics of the recovery variable. The automaton is both computationally eecient and faithful to the underlying partial diierential equations.

Computational Aspects of Modeling Excitable Media Using Cellular Automata
The study of excitable media is important in understanding the behavior of complex systems including mold growth, star formation, and cardiac tissue contraction. In this paper we discuss some computational aspects of modeling excitable media using multi-state cellular automata. In particular, we discuss implementation issues, algorithm development and visualization on the AGILA High Performance...
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 کاملNucleation of Waves in Excitable Media by Noise
We are interested in reaction-diffusion equations that model excitable media under the influence of an additive noise. In many models of this type, the homogeneous zero state is stable and interesting dynamics is observed only for certain initial data. In the presence of noise, the excitable media is stimulated and the noise may be sufficiently large to nucleate wave forms. In computations, we ...
متن کاملWave trains, self-oscillations and synchronization in discrete media
We study wave propagation in networks of coupled cells which can behave as excitable or self-oscillatory media. For excitable media, an asymptotic construction of wave trains is presented. This construction predicts their shape and speed, as well as the critical coupling and the critical separation of time scales for propagation failure. It describes stable wave train generation by repeated fir...
متن کاملThree-valued logic gates in reaction-diffusion excitable media
It is well established now that excitable media are capable of implementing of a wide range of computational operations, from image processing to logical computation to navigation of robots. The findings published so far in the field of logical computation were concerned solely with realization of boolean logic. This imposed somewhat artificial limitations on a suitability of excitable media fo...
