Existence and stability of traveling wave solutions in a simplified model of cardiac tissue
Abstract
We introduce a simplified two-variable model of cardiac tissue. The model captures key features of cardiac behavior, including electrical alternans, while also allowing for analytical investigations into the propagation of electrical impulses. We examine the existence and stability of traveling wave front and traveling pulse solutions.
