Spiral waves on spherical domains: A dynamical systems approach

This thesis is concerned with the dynamics and bifurcations of spiral waves in excitable media with spherical or approximately spherical geometry (e.g. cardiac tissue). First, we study parameter-dependent systems of reaction-diffusion partial differential equations on a sphere which are equivariant...
