    High-frequency stimuli can initiate rotating spiral waves in excitable media near sharp-cornered boundaries. This finding advances understanding of pattern formation in chemical reactions and complex systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Chemical kinetics
    • Nonlinear dynamics
    • Pattern formation

    Background:

    • Excitable media exhibit complex spatiotemporal dynamics.
    • Spiral waves are a common emergent phenomenon in such systems.
    • Understanding wave initiation is crucial for controlling pattern formation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the initiation of rotating spiral waves in a homogeneous excitable medium.
    • To explore the role of high-frequency stimuli and boundary conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction as a model excitable medium.
    • Employed numerical simulations to model wave dynamics.
    • Applied high-frequency stimuli near domain boundaries and inexcitable barriers.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated successful initiation of rotating spiral waves under specific conditions.
    • Identified sharp corners of domain boundaries and inexcitable barriers as key sites for initiation.
    • Showcased the influence of high-frequency stimuli on wave generation.

    Conclusions:

    • High-frequency stimuli are effective in initiating spiral waves in excitable media.
    • Geometric features like sharp corners play a critical role in wave initiation.
    • Findings provide insights into controlling complex spatiotemporal patterns.
