Spiral Waves in a Cyclic Cellular Automaton Model for Excitable Media
M. Andrecut · Modern Physics Letters B · 1997
We present a cyclic cellular automaton for excitable media. The model exhibits the complex dynamics of patterns observed in excitable media. Spatial patterns dynamics provides an important example of spatio-temporal self-organization in distributed active systems. The global behavior of the cellular automaton model is described in terms of point correlation functions. The Fouries analysis pointed out the quasi-oscillatory and chaotic behavior of these functions.
