Microscopic Variability Alters Macroscopic Rotation Speed in Stochastic Spiral Waves

Jolien Kamphuis, Desmond Kabus, Hermen Jan Hupkes +1

We present a general theory for noise-induced corrections to the angular velocity of spiral waves. Stochasticity produces two second-order effects: an instantaneous term from heter…
