On Yakhno's Model for a Leading Center.
Abstract
A reaction-diffusion model suggested by Yakhno as a model for the centers of periodic activity often seen in excitable media such as cardiac tissue and special chemical reagents is subjected to multiple-scale analysis. A fairly complete description of the process (which involves the generation of wave fronts) is obtained, but it is shown to be structurally unstable as it depends on symmetries in the basic equations. The allowed amount of deviation from symmetry is estimated. (Author)
