Breaking of translational symmetry of a traveling planar impulse in a two-dimensional two-variable reaction-diffusion model.
The stability of a planar impulse in rectangular spatial domains for a two-variable excitable reaction-diffusion system is numerically studied. The dependence of the stability on the size of the domain perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the impulse is shown. The instability results in asymptotic stable curved impulses or an asymptotic spatiotemporal structure, which is generated similarly to the one-dimensional backfiring phenomenon.
