Abstract

In this study, we consider the traveling spots that were observed in the photosensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction experiment conducted by Mihailuk et al. in 2001. First, we introduce the interface equation by the singular limit analysis of a FitzHugh--Nagumo-type reaction-diffusion system. Then, we obtain the profile of the support of the solution. Next, we prove the uniqueness of the traveling spot by studying ordinary differential equations that describe its front and back. In addition, we provide an upper bound for the width of the spot. Furthermore, we compare the singular limit problem with the wave front interaction model proposed by Zykov and Showalter in 2005 and obtain traveling fingers.
