Wave front propagation speed in complex structures is calculated using Hamilton-Jacobi formalism. This method accounts for branching structures and is validated by reaction random-walk simulations.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Complex Systems
  • Mathematical Modeling

Background:

  • Understanding wave propagation in complex geometries is crucial for various scientific fields.
  • Comblike and fractal structures present unique challenges for wave dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive an explicit expression for wave front propagation speed on comblike structures.
  • To investigate the influence of branching on propagation dynamics.
  • To extend the analysis to more complex fractal structures like Peano basins.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism to derive theoretical expressions.
  • Incorporated the waiting-time distribution function to model branching effects.
  • Performed numerical simulations of the reaction random-walk process for validation.
