Abstract:
The phenomenon of wave splitting is investigated in a two-dimensional excitable light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction medium after extremely changing the intensity of illuminated light for a short time. It is found that successive wave splitting and nonannihilation collision between two waves of different amplitudes occur spontaneously under narrow experimental conditions. Experimental observations are approximately reproduced in the specific parameter range by a numerical simulation with a Bär-Eiswirth model.

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
