Systems of ODEs coupled with the topology of a closed ring are common models in biology, robotics, electrical engineering, and many other areas of science. When the component systems and couplings are identical, the system has a cyclic…

Fluid dynamics induced by periodically forced flow around a cylinder is analyzed computationally for the case when the forcing frequency is much lower than the von K{\'a}rm{\'a}n vortex shedding frequency corresponding to the constant flow…

Trapping and un-trapping of spiral tips in a two-dimensional homogeneous excitable medium with local small-world connections is studied by numerical simulation. In a homogeneous medium which can be simulated with a lattice of regular…

To mimic the motion of biological swimmers in bodily fluids, a novel experimental system of micellar solubilization driven active droplets in a visco-elastic polymeric solution is presented. The visco-elastic nature of the medium,…

We present results of numerical simulations of coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations that describe parametrically excited waves. In one dimension we focus on a new regime in which the Eckhaus sideband instability does not lead to an overall…

We study a family of non-linear McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by a Poisson measure, modelling the mean-field asymptotic of a network of generalized Integrate-and-Fire neurons. We give sufficient conditions to have periodic solutions through a…

We show that at the onset of a cyclic fold bifurcation, a birhythmic medium composed of glycolytic oscillators displays turbulent dynamics. By computing the largest Lyapunov exponent, the spatial correlation function, and the average…

Spirals have been studied from a dynamical system perspective starting with Barkley's seminal papers linking a wide class of spiral wave dynamics to the Euclidean symmetry of the excitable media in which they are observed. However, in order…

Chemical, physical and ecological systems passing through a saddle-node bifurcation will, momentarily, find themselves balanced at a semi-stable steady state. If perturbed by noise, such systems will escape from the zero-steady state, with…

Bifurcations associated with stability of the saddle fixed point of the Poincar\'{e} map, arising from the unstable equilibrium point of the potential, are investigated in a forced Duffing oscillator with a double-well potential. One…

Sufficient conditions for either existence or non-existence of traveling wave solutions for a general quasi-linear reaction-diffusion-convection equation, possibly highly degenerate or singular, with discontinuous coefficients are…

In this paper, we are interested in studying the modulational dynamics of interfacial waves rising buoyantly along a conduit of a viscous liquid. Formally, the behavior of modulated periodic waves on large space and time scales may be…

This paper investigates travelling wave solutions of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation from the viewpoint of fast-slow dynamical systems. These solutions are homoclinic orbits of a three dimensional vector field depending upon system parameters…

A phenomenological model of parametric surface waves (Faraday waves) is introduced in the limit of small viscous dissipation that accounts for the coupling between surface motion and slowly varying streaming and large scale flows (mean…

We use geometric singular perturbation techniques combined with an action functional approach to study traveling pulse solutions in a three-component FitzHugh--Nagumo model. First, we derive the profile of traveling $1$-pulse solutions with…

Reaction delays are important in determining the qualitative dynamical properties of a platoon of vehicles traveling on a straight road. In this paper, we investigate the impact of delayed feedback on the dynamics of the Modified Optimal…

The analysis on stability and bifurcations in the macroscopic dynamics exhibited by the system of two coupled large populations comprised of $N$ stochastic excitable units each is performed by studying an approximate system, obtained by…

The dynamics of a multiplex heterogeneous network of oscillators is studied. Two types of similar models based on the Hodgkin-Huxley formalism are used as the basic elements of the networks. The first type model demonstrates bursting…

We present the qualitative differences in the phase transitions of the mono-mode Dicke model in its integrable and chaotic versions. We show that a first order phase transition occurs in the integrable case whereas a second order in the…

We consider a general model of self-propelling particles interacting through a pairwise attractive force in the presence of noise and communication time delay. Previous work by Erdmann, et al. [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 71}, 051904 (2205)] has…
