The eikonal equation of wave front surface and general equation of organization center were obtained. These eikonal equations reveal the wave front surfaces have structures of twisted scroll wave and Mbius band, the organization centers have structures of knotted and linked ring. These theoretical results not only explain the wave patterns of BZ(Belousov-Zhabotinskii) chemical reaction but also give several possibility structures of wave front surface and organization center in general excitable media.展开更多

It was found that phase synchronization can be observed under weak coupling strength. By increasing the coupling strength, the synchronization is broken down. With the further increase of the coupling strength, complete synchronization and phase synchronization occur again. We also found that the inhomogeneity in excitable systems is helpful to the synchronization.展开更多

The numerical simulations show that a breakup of spiral is observed in the media state evolution to finally obtain homogeneous states if the electric shock with appropriate intensity is imposed.展开更多

When the exponent of the creation term is larger than the one of the annihilation term, two typical cases are studied, one with the exact traveling wave solutions, yielding the values of speeds, the other with the series expansion solution, also yielding the value of speed. Conversely, when the exponent of creation term is smaller than the one of the annihilation term, two typical cases are also studied, but only for one of them, there is a series development solution, yielding the value of speed, and for the other, traveling wave solution cannot exist. Besides, the formula of calculating speeds and solutions of planar wave within the thin boundary layer are given for a class of typical excitable media.展开更多
