Figure 6. Role of maximum link lengths in wave propagation.

Figure 6

A. The distribution of link lengths between the cells at the wave front, and the cells which triggered their firing. The front cells (top 1 or 5 %) were selected by their positions in a wave. The mean distances are given in the legend, parameters Inline graphic, Inline graphic. B. Estimate of the wave speed by numerical estimate of mean maxima of Inline graphic i.i.d radii taken from uniform distribution Inline graphic (broken line). The formula Inline graphic is the expected value of the mean maxima (solid line). The CA simulations of wave speed are shown by circles. As seen, the mean maxima give a good wave speed estimate, in contrast to naive scaling Inline graphic derived earlier from the PDE (dotted line).
