Title: Patterns in Oscillatory Media with Nonlocal Coupling

Abstract: Many physical and biological systems that exhibit time oscillations generate interesting patterns. For instance, it is well known that under appropriate conditions the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction generates spiral waves, target patterns, and other spatio-temporal structures. To understand the formation of these patterns one often views these systems as consisting of small oscillating element that interact with each together via diffusion or coupling. In this talk we explore what happens to these structures when these interactions are long-ranged and outline the mathematical tools needed to prove their existence.

This seminar will be held in-person and virtually via Zoom.
