Internal layer oscillations in FitzHugh-Nagumo equation (Q1301820)

In the work [\textit{P. Fife}, Dynamics of internal layers and diffusive interfaces, CMBS-NSF Reg. Conf. Ser. Appl. Math. 53 (1988; Zbl 0684.35001)] it was shown that FitzHugh-Nagumo equations can be reduced to a free boundary value problem when a layer parameter \(\varepsilon\) is equal to zero. In the article under review the Hopf bifurcation for this free boundary value problem at the variation of the controlled parameter \(\tau\) is investigated.
