We establish sharp nonlinear stability results for fronts that describe the creation of a periodic pattern through the invasion of an unstable state. The fronts we consider are critical, in the sense that they are expected to mediate…
We establish nonlinear stability of fronts that describe the creation of a periodic pattern through the invasion of an unstable state. Our results concern pushed fronts, that is, fronts whose propagation is driven by a localized mode at the…
We show that propagation speeds in invasion processes modeled by reaction-diffusion systems are determined by marginal spectral stability conditions, as predicted by the marginal stability conjecture. This conjecture was recently settled in…
We examine the effect of a slowly-varying time-dependent parameter on invasion fronts for which an unstable homogeneous equilibrium is invaded by either another homogeneous state or a spatially periodic state. We first explain and motivate…
The dynamics of spatiotemporal patterns in oscillatory reaction-diffusion systems subject to periodic forcing with a spatially random forcing amplitude field are investigated. Quenched disorder is studied using the resonantly forced complex…
Recently, a nonlinear stability theory has been developed for wave trains in reaction-diffusion systems relying on pure $L^\infty$-estimates. In the absence of localization of perturbations, it exploits diffusive decay caused by smoothing…
Patterns and waves are basic and important phenomena that govern the dynamics of physical and biological systems. A common theme in investigating such systems is to identify the intrinsic factors responsible for such self-organization. The…
A wave front and a wave back that spontaneously connect two hyperbolic equilibria, known as a heteroclinic wave loop, give rise to periodic waves with arbitrarily large spatial periods through the heteroclinic bifurcation. The nonlinear…
We analyze synchronization of relaxation oscillations in multiple-timescale reaction-diffusion systems. Interpreting synchronization as convergence to frequency-synchronized wave-train solutions, we resolve for the first time the case of…
We investigate diffusion-driven instabilities in a FitzHugh-Nagumo reaction-diffusion system with superdiffusive transport, modeled by fractional Laplacian operators with different diffusion orders for the activator and the inhibitor. A…
This article communicates results on regular depolarization cascades in periodically-kicked feedforward chains of excitable two-dimensional FitzHugh-Nagumo systems driven by sufficiently strong excitatory forcing at the front node. The…
We examine traveling-wave solutions on a regular ring network with one additional long-range link that spans a distance d. The nodes obey the FitzHugh-Nagumo kinetics in the excitable regime. The additional shortcut induces a plethora of…
The paper deals with the studies of the nonlinear wave solutions supported by the modified FitzHugh-Nagumo (mFHN) system. It was proved in our previous work that the model, under certain conditions, possesses a set of soliton-like traveling…
We study a system of differential equation simulating transport phenomena in active structured media. The model is a generalization of the McKean s modification of the celebrated FitzHugh--Nagumo system, describing the nerve impulse…
In various neurological disorders spatio-temporal excitation patterns constitute examples of excitable behavior emerging from pathological pathways. During migraine, seizure, and stroke an initially localized pathological state can…
The FitzHugh-Nagumo equation, which was derived as a simplification of the Hodgkin-Huxley model for nerve impulse propagation, has been extensively studied as a paradigmatic activator-inhibitor system. We consider the version of this system…
This paper constructs a predictor-corrector technique with orthogonal spline collocation finite element method for simulating a FitzHugh-Nagumo system subject to suitable initial and boundary conditions. The developed computational…
We study the invasion of an unstable state by a propagating front in a peculiar but generic situation where the invasion process exhibits a remnant instability. Here, remnant instability refers to the fact that the spatially constant…
The slow dynamics of nearly stationary patterns in a FitzHugh-Nagumo model are studied using a phase dynamics approach. A Cross-Newell phase equation describing slow and weak modulations of periodic stationary solutions is derived. The…
The Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations have been used as a caricature of the Hodgkin-Huxley equations of neuron firing to better understand the essential dynamics of the interaction of the membrane potential and the restoring force and to capture,…
