Phase waves in 1D electrode arrays and in the whole 2D set of electrodes are detected, and their spatial organization and temporal evolution are studied. Phase portraits of wave vectors indicate the presence of sources, sinks, and saddle points. The analysis of temporal evolution of phase portraits shows that they changed more at the beginning of syllable pronunciation. Furthermore, wave sources were more stable in their localization during the pronunciation. Overall, in spite of large variability of phase portraits, they represent some characterization of the dynamics of electric potential in the cerebral cortex.","PeriodicalId":18285,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48952369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that under a wide range of scenarios, the threshold $y_0$ as a function of $R_0$ rises steeply from 0 at $R_0=1$ to prohibitively large values (of the order of $60-70%$ up) whenever $R_0$ is above 1.3.

We focus on the inclusion of the singular short range interaction effects (lubrication effects) in the simulations when the particles come close one to another. The problem is solved without introducing new hypothesis nor model. As in Lefebvre-Lepot et al. [J. Fluid Mech. 769 (2015) 369–386], the key idea is to decompose the velocity and pressure flows in a sum of a singular and a regular part. In this article, the singular part is computed using an explicit asymptotic expansion of the solution when the distance goes to zero. This expansion is similar to the asymptotic expansion proposed in Hillairet and Kelai [Asymptotic Anal. 95 (2015) 187–241] but is more appropriate for numerical simulations of suspensions. It can be computed for any locally convex (that is the particles have to be convex close to the contact point) and regular shape of particles. Using Hillairet and Kelai [Asymptotic Anal. 95 (2015) 187–241] as an intermediate result, we prove that the remaining part is regular in the sense that it is bounded independently of the distance. As a consequence, only a small number of degrees of freedom are necessary to obtain accurate results. The method is tested in dimension 2 for clusters of two or three aligned particles with general rigid velocities. We show that, as expected, the convergence is independent of the distance.","PeriodicalId":18285,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43714941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rotating pulses, steady in a moving coordinate, emerge in both models when the switching to front propagation velocities ~1. But this behavior exists over a narrow domain. Simulations were conducted with generic first order Arrhenius kinetics. Experimental observations are reviewed.\u0000Outside the narrow frozen rotating pattern domain the system may exhibit multi- or quasi-periodic operation separated by domains of inactive reaction.

The developed method determines the underlying dynamics and the ``weight\" of each subpopulations with respect to the dynamics of the whole population, and how the topology of the connectivity matrix alters the dynamics of the overall population.
