Abstract: On the basis of numerical simulations of the partial McAllister-Noble-Tsien equations quantitatively describing the dynamics of electrical processes in conductive cardiac Purkinje fibers we reveal unusual - soliton-like - regimes of interaction of nonlinear excitation pulses governing the heart contraction rhythm: reflection of colliding pulses instead of their annihilation. The phenomenological mechanism of the reflection effects is that in a narrow (but finite) range of the system parameters the traveling pu… Show more

“…penetration of waves upon impact with each other or reflection from non-flux boundaries. This is rather uncharacteristic of the waves in (1) with the exception of narrow parametric regions on the margins of the excitability [3]. However, in systems with cross-diffusion, such "quasi-soliton' behaviour can be observed in large parametric regions [4,5].…”

“…Soliton-like interactions of solitary waves have been observed in some reaction-diffusion systems with excitable kinetics, both in numerics [25,26,27,28,29,30] and in experiments [30,31]. Such interactions are always limited to narrow parameter ranges close to the boundaries between excitable and oscillatory (limit cycle) regimes of the reaction kinetics.…”
