Abstract

By application of a free-boundary approach, we prove the existence of a continuous transition and a full spectrum of solutions between the two known limits of spiral wave dynamics. We identify a control parameter whose essential importance was not realized in earlier studies of spatiotemporal pattern selection in excitable media. The predictions of the free-boundary approach are in good quantitative agreement with results from numerical reaction-diffusion simulations performed on the modified Barkley model.
