Abstract

A fiberlike lattice with resistively coupled electronic elements mimicking a 1D discrete reactiondiffusion system is considered The chosen unit or element in the fiber is the paradigmatic Chua’s circuit capable of exhibiting bistable excitable oscillatory or chaotic behavior Then the dynamics of a structure of two such interacting parallel active fibers is studied Suitable conditions for the interaction to yield synchronization and other forms of collective behavior involving both fibers are obtained They include wave front propagation pulse reentry and pulse propagation failure overcoming of propagation failure and the appearance of a source of synchronized pulses The possibility of designing controlled dynamic contacts by means of one or a few interfiber couplings is also discussed
