Abstract:
We find a new wave in intrinsically bistable reaction-diffusion systems without any external forces. This wave is a stably propagating periodic wave in bistable McKean model. We also find dispersion relation curves with three branches by solving McKean model exactly.

- In fact the case that c=0 (excitable case) reveals that more than two periodic solutions coexist.
In this excitable case, the branch corresponding to the closed curve for a=ac+0.04 survives for various values of a.
