EXPLICIT REPRESENTATION OF PLANAR WAVE SPEED AND DISPERSIVE RELATION IN GENERAL EXCITABLE MEDIA

We transform the problem of seeking the planar wave speed in general excitable media into a cubically algbraic equation, thus we can find the explicit representation of the planar wave speed (in one-dimensional case, the traveling wave speed) and dispersive relation. Especially for a few typical excitable media, we give the formula for calculating the corresponding wave speed.
