Talk:Meander of spiral waves

From Scholarpedia
Jump to: navigation, search

The word "meander" as applied to spiral waves originates from Winfree's observation that BZ spirals were not rigidly rotating. This was a single example of a real physical (chemical) system, not a mathematical curiosity in a so-many-parametric system of PDEs. By your definition, if there is no Hopf bifurcation, there is no meander. Isn't it too restrictive?
