Description
This book presents a study of neuroscience models and natural phenomena, such as tsunami waves and tornados. The first part discusses various mathematical models of tsunamis, including the Korteweg-de Vries equation, shallow water equations and the Camassa-Holm equation (CH). In order to study the dynamics of these models, the text uses the Cellular Nonlinear Networks (CNN) approach to discretize the governing equation using a suitable mathematical grid. The second part discusses some of the models arising in the field of neuroscience. It examines the Fitzhugh-Nagumo systems, which are very important for understanding the qualitative nature of nerve impulse propagation.The volume will be of interest to a wide-ranging audience, including PhD students, mathematicians, physicists, engineers and specialists in the domain of nonlinear waves and their applications.
