This paper develops and uses comparison principles to study the time evolution of solutions to problems of the form (formula; see text) Such a system models an infinite myelinated axon with discrete, excitable nodes spaced unit distant apart.
A model of a myelinated nerve axon is developed on the basis of FitzHugh-Nagumo dynamics under the assumption that the nodes of Ranvier are of small but finite width. It is shown that a periodic excited state may not exist if the width of the nodes is too small and the leakage across the myelin shea
Repetitive firing of single tonic neurones is modeled to include in detail both membrane excitation kinetics and electrotonic effects due to membrane non-uniformities in the impulse encoder region. The model is evaluated dynamically and compared with similar data obtained from the crayfish stretch r
## Abstract Xβray studies have been made of the detonation of cartridges of various explosives that had been compressed and reduced in diameter and then fired with a delay detonator. In several cases the detonation wave that travelled along the cartridge in a direction opposite to that in which the
