Abstract

The dynamics of active medium with periodic boundary conditions in the form of a ring composed of 1000 identical bistable oscillators with diffusion coupling is modeled. The existence of traveling waves and multistability of wave modes upon this type of interaction of elements in the ring of bistable oscillators have been established for the first time. The evolution of wave modes is analyzed depending on the diffusion coefficient.
