### Pinning and propagation in spatially discrete bistable systems

• Mathematics
• 2016
Pinning and propagation failure results for wave fronts in bistable spatially discrete FitzHugh-Nagumo systems are established by means of a weak comparison principle. This comparison principle

We consider the propagation of wave fronts connecting unstable and stable uniform solutions to a discrete reaction–diffusion equation on a one-dimensional integer lattice. The dependence of the

### Wave Propagation in Discrete Media

We study wave front propagation in spatially discrete reaction-diffusion equations with cubic sources. Depending on the symmetry of the source, such wave fronts appear to be pinned or to glide at a

Exact, steady-state, single-front solutions are constructed for a spatially discrete bistable equation with a piecewise linear reaction term, known as a sawtooth nonlinearity. These solutions are

The transition from a standing front to a traveling front is studied in an array of symmetric bistable coupled oscillators in the context of a gluing bifurcation involving a pair of homoclinic loops.

Traveling fronts are shown to occur in an array of nearest-neighbor coupled symmetric bistable units and when the local dynamics is given by the Lorenz equations, the asymptotic behavior of the front velocity is found straightforwardly.
