Title
Stability of periodic traveling waves in the Aliev–Panfilov reaction–diffusion system
Abstract
•We study the stability of periodic traveling wave solutions (PTWs) for the Aliev–Panfilov model of cardiac excitation.•Our calculations of essential spectra show a stability change of Eckhaus type in the PTWs, when a model parameter is varied.•A stability boundary between stable and unstable PTWs is calculated.•We show that the stable wave bifurcates to an oscillating pattern, based on the stability boundary.•The far-field spiral breakup is found numerically based on the instability of the PTWs.
