AbstractIn this document are modeled arrhythmias with cellular automaton and ordinary differential equations systems. With an aperiodic, self-similar distribution of two-dimensional arrangement of cells, it is possible to simulate such phenomena as fibrillation, fluttering and a sequence of fibrillation-fluttering. The topology of the cytoarchitecture of a network of cells may determine the initiation and development of arrhythmias.

AbstractWith an aperiodic, self-similar distribution of two-dimensional arrangement of atrial cells, it is possible to simulate such phenomena as Fibrillation, Fluttering, and a sequence of Fibrillation-Fluttering. The topology of a network of cells may facilitate the initiation and development of arrhythmias such as Fluttering and Fibrillation. Using a GPU parallel architecture, two basic cell topologies were considered in this simulation, an aperiodic, fractal distribution of connections among 462 cells, and a chessboard-like geometry of 60×60 and 600×600 cells. With a complex set of initial conditions, it is possible to produce tissue behavior that may be identified with arrhythmias. Finally, we found several sets of initial conditions that show how a mesh of cells may exhibit Fibrillation that evolves into Fluttering.

We study a cellular automaton derived from the phenomenon of magnetic flux creep in two-dimensional granular superconductors. We model the superconductor as an array of Josephson junctions evolving according to a set of coupled ordinary differential equations. In the limit of slowly increasing magnetic field, we reduce these equations to a simple cellular automaton. The resulting discrete dynamics, a stylized version of the continuous dynamics of the differential equations, is equivalent to the dynamics of a gradient sand pile automaton. We study the dynamics as we vary the symmetry of the underlying lattice and the shape of its boundary. We find that the "simplest" realization of the automaton, on a square lattice with commensurate boundaries, results in especially simple dynamics, while "generic" realizations exhibit more complicated dynamics characterized by statistics with broad distributions, even in the absence of noise or disorder.

Wave propagation in excitable media provides an important example of spatiotemporal self-organization. The Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction and the impulse propagation along nerve axons are two well-known examples of this phenomenon. Excitable media have been modelled by continuous partial differential equations and by discrete cellular automata. Here we describe a simple three-states cellular automaton model based on the properties of excitation and recovery that are essential to excitable media. Our model is able to reproduce the dynamics of patterns observed in excitable media.

AbstractInvariant solutions of two-dimensional elastodynamics in linear homogeneous isotropic materials are considered via the group theoretical method. The second order partial differential equations of elastodynamics are reduced to ordinary differential equations under the infinitesimal operators. Three invariant solutions are constructed. Their graphical figures are presented and physical meanings are elucidated in some cases.
