The FitzHugh-Nagumo equations have been used as a caricature of the Hodgkin-Huxley equations of neuron firing and to capture, qualitatively, the general properties of an excitable membrane. In this paper, we utilize a modified version of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations to model the spatial propagation of neuron firing; we assume that this propagation is (at least, partially) caused by the cross-diffusion connection between the potential and recovery variables. We show that the cross-diffusion version of the model, be- sides giving rise to the typical fast traveling wave solution exhibited in the original "diffusion" FitzHugh-Nagumo equations, additionally gives rise to a slow traveling wave solution. We analyze all possible traveling wave solutions of the model and show that there exists a threshold of the cross-diffusion coefficient (for a given speed of propagation), which bounds the area where "normal" impulse propagation is possible.

We propose a universal method based on deep reinforcement learning (specifically, soft actor-critic) to control the chimera state in the coupled oscillators. The policy for control is learned by maximizing the expectation of the cumulative reward in the reinforcement learning framework. With the aid of the local order parameter, we design a class of reward functions for controlling the chimera state, specifically confining the spatial position of coherent and incoherent domains to any desired lateral position of oscillators.

In this manuscript, we investigate the memristor-based implementation of neuronal ion channels in a mathematical model and an experimental circuit for a neuronal oscillator. We used a FitzHugh-Nagumo equation system describing neuronal excitability. Non-linearities introduced by the voltage-gated ion channels were modeled using memristive devices.

We present a computer-assisted approach to prove the existence of Hopf bubbles and degenerate Hopf bifurcations in ordinary and delay differential equations. We apply the method to rigorously investigate these nonlocal orbit structures in the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation, the extended Lorenz-84 model and a time-delay SI model.

Dynamic analysis, electrical coupling and synchronization control of the conformable FitzHugh-Nagumo neuronal models have been presented in this work. Firstly, equations of the Adomian-Decomposition-Method and conformable neuron model have been introduced. The Adomian-Decomposition-Method has been employed for the numerical simulation analysis, since it converges fast and provides serial solutions.

Many physical systems exhibit translational invariance, meaning that the underlying physical laws are independent of the position in space. Data driven approximations of the infinite dimensional but linear Koopman operator of non-linear dynamical systems need to be physically informed in order to respect such physical symmetries. In the current work, we introduce a translation invariant extended dynamic mode decomposition (tieDMD) for coupled non-linear systems on periodic domains.
