Research Abstract |
To construct the quasi-solutions of non-equilibrium growth models, we considered the spontaneous emergence of spirals in an excitable medium. Ueyama et al and his co-workers exhibited the spiral formation influenced by the non-uniform environment using photosensitive BZ reactions and simulations. Ninomiya and his co-workers studied the wave front interaction model as the simplied model of the excitable system and constructed the rotating spots and spirals. These studies enabled us to construct the traveling spots of the singular limit problem of FitzHugh-Nagumo type systems. It revealed the mechanism of spontaneous emergence of spirals in two-dimensional excitable medium.
