Wave front propagation failure in an inhomogeneous discrete Nagumo chain: theory and experiments.

The phenomenon of wave propagation failure in a discrete inhomogeneous Nagumo equation is investigated. It is found that the propagation failure occurs not only for small coupling coefficients but as well for an abrupt change of the interelement coupling. The investigation includes the study of the phase space of the system, numerical simulations, and real experiments with a nonlinear electrical lattice.

Theoretical and experimental study of two discrete coupled Nagumo chains.

We analyze front wave (kink and antikink) propagation and pattern formation in a system composed of two coupled discrete Nagumo chains using analytical and numerical methods. In the case of homogeneous interaction among the chains, we show the possibility of the effective control on wave propagation. In addition, physical experiments on electrical chains confirm all theoretical behaviors.

Propagation failure in discrete bistable reaction-diffusion systems: theory and experiments.

Wave front propagation failure is investigated in discrete bistable reaction-diffusion systems. We present a theoretical approach including dissipative effects and leading to an analytical expression of the critical coupling beyond which front propagation can occur as a function of the nonlinearity threshold parameter. Our theoretical predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations and experimental results on an equivalent electrical diffusive lattice.
