We consider the FitzHugh-Nagumo system on undulated cylindrical surfaces modeling nerve axons. We show that for sufficiently small radii and for initial conditions close to radially symmetrical ones, (i) the solutions converge to their…
The FitzHugh-Nagumo equations are known to admit traveling front solutions in one spatial dimension that are nonlinearly stable. This paper concerns the stability of traveling front solutions propagating on cylindrical surfaces. It is shown…
We study a system of nonlinear differential equations simulating transport phenomena in active media. The model we are interested in is a generalization of the celebrated FitzHugh-Nagumo system, describing the nerve impulse propagation in…
Propagation of pulses in myelinated fibers may be described by appropriate solutions of spatially discrete FitzHugh-Nagumo systems. In these systems, propagation failure may occur if either the coupling between nodes is not strong enough or…
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,…
The FitzHugh-Nagumo model describing propagation of nerve impulses in axon is given by fast-slow reaction-diffusion equations, with dependence on a parameter $\epsilon$ representing the ratio of time scales. It is well known that for all…
This paper is devoted to pulse solutions in FitzHugh--Nagumo systems that are coupled parabolic equations with rapidly periodically oscillating coefficients. In the limit of vanishing periods, there arises a two-scale FitzHugh--Nagumo…
We establish the existence and nonlinear stability of travelling pulse solutions for the discrete FitzHugh-Nagumo equation with infinite-range interactions close to the continuum limit. For the verification of the spectral properties, we…
For a coupled slow--fast FitzHugh--Nagumo(FHN) equation derived from a reaction-diffusion-mechanics (RDM) model, Holzer, Doelman and Kaper in 2013 studied existence and stability of the travelling pulse, which consists of two fast orbit…
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…
A commonly accepted feature of an excitable medium is that a local excitation leads to a propagation of circular or spiral excitation wave-fronts. This is indeed the case in fully excitable medium. However, with a decrease of an…
We present a derivation of a multidomain model for the electric potential in bundles of randomly distributed axons with different radii. The FitzHugh-Nagumo dynamics is assumed on the axons' membrane, and the conductivity depends…
We consider the problem of initiation of propagating wave in a one-dimensional excitable fiber. In the FitzHugh-Nagumo theory, the key role is played by ``critical nucleus'' and ``critical pulse'' solutions whose (center-)stable manifold is…
We construct pulse-type approximate solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic equations near diffractive points, allowing arbitrary (even infinite) order of grazing. We show that in low regularity spaces and the high frequency limit, such solutions…
The one-dimensional propagation of seismic waves with constant Q is shown to be governed by an evolution equation of fractional order in time, which interpolates the heat equation and the wave equation. The fundamental solutions for the…
We study reaction-diffusion waves on curved two-dimensional surfaces, and determine the influence of curvature upon the nucleation and propagation of spatially localized waves in an excitable medium modelled by the generic FitzHugh-Nagumo…
The bidomain model is the standard model for cardiac electrophysiology. In this paper, we investigate the instability and asymptotic behavior of planar fronts and planar pulses of the bidomain Allen-Cahn equation and the bidomain…
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 this paper, the transport phenomena of synaptic electric impulses are considered. The FitzHugh--Nagumo and FitzHugh--Rinzel models appear mathematically appropriate for evaluating these scientific issues. Moreover, applications of such…
Formal asymptotic expansions have long been used to study the singularly perturbed Allen-Cahn type equations and reaction-diffusion systems, including in particular the FitzHugh-Nagumo system. Despite their successful role, it has been…
