Pulse replication and accumulation of eigenvalues
2020
Motivated by pulse-replication phenomena observed in the FitzHugh--Nagumo equation, we investigate traveling pulses whose slow-fast profiles exhibit canard-like transitions. We show that the spectra of the PDE linearization about such pulses may contain many point eigenvalues that accumulate onto a union of curves as the slow scale parameter approaches zero. The limit sets are related to the absolute spectrum of the homogeneous rest states involved in the canard-like transitions. Our results are formulated for general systems that admit an appropriate slow-fast structure.
