3 Patterns in an excitable medium To capture a solution of PDE (especially RD) in multidimensional space means to characterize its pattern There are many results for 1D Bifurcation of traveling spots Ohta, Mimura, Kobayashi (1989): radially symmetric SS Krischer, Mikhailov (1994): Bifurca'on of TS from SS Or- Guil, Bode, Schenk, Purwins (1998): 3 components system Pismen (2001): TS with sharp interface and bifurca'on Hagberg, Meron (2003), Nishiura, Teremoto, Ueda (2005) Photosensitive BZ reaction Mihaliuk, Sakurai, Chirila, Showalter (2001) Sakurai- Mihaliuk- Chirila- Showalter (2002, SCIENCE) Zykov, Showalter (2005): wave front interac'on model in an excitable media Guo, Ninomiya, Tsai (2010) As the first step, we need to get more informa'on of non- radial TS. 3

4 FitzHugh-Nagumo equation and its singular limit problem FitzHugh-Nagumo equation (ODE) where u t = u + 1 (f (u) 2 v) v t = g(u, v) f " (u) =u(1 g(u, v) =g 1 u u)(u g 2 v g 0 + g 3 v u t = 1 (f (u) 2 v) v t = g(u, v) " ) := g 2 g 1 g 3 1 2, g i > 0 Excitable system (mono- stable) 2 u t = 2 u + (f (u) v) v t = g(u, v) f 0 (u) = 0 u = 0, 1 2, 1 Interface appears u res'ng region (t) exci'ng region 4

5 FitzHugh-Nagumo equation and its singular limit problem FitzHugh-Nagumo equation u t = u + 1 (f (u) 2 v) v t = g(u, v) f 0 (u) = 0 u = 0, 1 2, 1 v Interface appears u (t) V exci'ng region (t) res'ng region V = C(v) v t = g( (t), v) where C(v) = a bv a = 2, b = 6 2 Planar waves with speed a V: normal velocity h: a root of v=f(u) κ:curvature χ: characteris'c func'on 5

6 Theorem (Chen-Kohsaka-Ninomiya 2013) (,v) V = a bv v t = g( (t), v) For any 0<c<a, there are b and a traveling spot with speed c such that lim v(x, y, 0) = 0, v(x, y, 0) = 0 if y Y M. x 2 +y 2 Moreover, (i) 0 c c (ii) c < c < a There is a convex traveling spot Non-convex traveling spot circle c c c planar There is a traveling spot with any large size. 6

7 V = a bv v t = g( (t), v) Outine of proof Traveling wave solu'on (t) = {(x + ct, y) (x, y) (0)} v(x, y, t) = v(x ct, y) Tip V c c cos = a bv cv x = g( (0), v) Back X (y) (t) X + (y) Front We denote the interface where V>0 (resp. V<0, V=0) by the front (resp. back x = X (y), 'p ) Due to the effect of v, V is nega've. { d dx ± ds = sin ± dy ± ds = cos ± ± ds = apple ± = a bv ± c cos ± x = X + (y) 7
