Dynamics of Elastic Excitable Media
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
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
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 ...

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
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]
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
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
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
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
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 ...
