The structure of spiral waves is investigated in super-excitable reaction–diffusion systems where the local dynamics exhibits multilooped phase-space trajectories. It is shown that such systems support stable spiral waves with broken rotational symmetry and complex temporal dynamics. The main structural features of such waves, synchronization defect lines, are demonstrated to be similar to those of spiral waves in systems with complex-oscillatory dynamics.

We describe the simplest bifurcations of spiral waves in reaction–diffusion systems in the plane and present the list of model systems. One-parameter bifurcations of one-armed spiral waves are fold and Hopf bifurcations. Multiarmed spiral waves may additionally undergo a period-doubling pitchfork bifurcation, when two congruent spiral wave solutions, having the "double" period, branch from the original spiral wave at the bifurcation point.
