abstract

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 of a kind of a rabbitfish which implies natural patterns could be based on reaction-diffusion systems. we have also considered the effects of different parameters of the fhn model on changing the initial pattern.

Pattern 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...

On the Fitzhugh-Nagumo model

The initial value problem P 0 , in all of the space, for the spatio-temporal FitzHugh-Nagumo equations is analyzed. When the reaction kinetics of the model can be outlined by means of piecewise linear approximations, then the solution of P 0 is explicitly obtained. For periodic initial data are possible damped travelling waves and their speed of propagation is evaluated. The results imply appli...

the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...

Analysis 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...

Spatially Discrete FitzHugh--Nagumo Equations

We consider pulse and front solutions to a spatially discrete FitzHugh–Nagumo equation that contains terms to represent both depolarization and hyperpolarization of the nerve axon. We demonstrate a technique for deriving candidate solutions for the McKean nonlinearity and present and apply solvability conditions necessary for existence. Our equation contains both spatially continuous and discre...
