Dynamics of Elastic Excitable Media

open access: yes, 1999
The Burridge-Knopoff model of earthquake faults with viscous friction is equivalent to a van der Pol-FitzHugh-Nagumo model for excitable media with elastic coupling.

Boundary value problems for integro-differential and singular higher-order differential equations

open access: yesOpen Mathematics
We investigate third-order strongly nonlinear differential equations of the type (Φ(k(t)u″(t)))′=f(t,u(t),u′(t),u″(t)),a.e. on[0,T],\left(\Phi \left(k\left(t){u}^{^{\prime\prime} }\left(t)))^{\prime} =f\left(t,u\left(t),u^{\prime} \left(t),{u}^{^{\prime ...

Upper and Lower Solutions for the FitzHugh– Nagumo Type System of Equations

open access: yesМоделирование и анализ информационных систем, 2018
We consider a moving front solution of a singularly perturbed FitzHugh–Nagumo type system of equations. The solution contains an internal transition layer, that is, a subdomain where a sharp change in the values of the functions describing the solution ...

Noise-induced synchronization and anti-resonance in excitable systems; Implications for information processing in Parkinson's Disease and Deep Brain Stimulation

open access: yes, 2019
We study the statistical physics of a surprising phenomenon arising in large networks of excitable elements in response to noise: while at low noise, solutions remain in the vicinity of the resting state and large-noise solutions show asynchronous ...

Nonlocal control of pulse propagation in excitable media

open access: yes, 2014
We study the effects of nonlocal control of pulse propagation in excitable media. As a generic example for an excitable medium the FitzHugh-Nagumo model with diffusion in the activator variable is considered. Nonlocal coupling in form of an integral term

Spatio-temporal modelling of wave formation in an excitable chemical medium based on a revised FitzHugh-Nagumo model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The wavefront profile and the propagation velocity of waves in an experimentally observed Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction are analyzed and a revised FitzHumgh-Nagumo(FHN) model of these systems is identified.

Chaotic oscillations in singularly perturbed FitzHugh-Nagumo systems

open access: yes, 2013
We consider the singularly perturbed limit of periodically excited two-dimensional FitzHugh-Nagumo systems. We show that the dynamics of such systems are essentially governed by an one-dimensional map and present a numerical scheme to accurately compute ...

Existence and uniqueness of radial solutions for elliptic equations with nonlinear gradient terms

open access: yesBoundary Value Problems
In this paper, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of radial solutions of the elliptic equation with nonlinear gradient term { − △ u = f ( | x | , u , x | x | ⋅ ∇ u ) , x ∈ Ω , u | ∂ Ω = 0 , $$ \left \{ \textstyle\begin{array}{l} -\triangle u = f\big(

A Virtual Element Method for a Nonlocal FitzHugh-Nagumo Model of Cardiac Electrophysiology

open access: yes, 2018
We present a Virtual Element Method (VEM) for a nonlocal reaction-diffusion system of the cardiac electric field. To this system, we analyze an $H^1(\Omega)$-conforming discretization by means of VEM which can make use of general polygonal meshes.

The Dynamics of Curved Fronts: Beyond Geometry

open access: yes, 1996
We derive a new set of kinematic equations for front motion in two-dimensional bistable media. The equations generalize the geometric approach by complementing the equation for the front curvature with an order parameter equation associated with a ...
