Coupled map lattice techniques for simulating interfacial phenomena in reaction-diffusion systems

Abstract
Interfacial patterns arise due to the dynamical evolution of phase boundaries in physical, chemical and biological systems. Coupled map lattices (CML) offer a useful tool for the simulation of such systems, being able to naturally accommodate the disparate length and time scales inherent in the dynamics of these processes. We illustrate this idea by reviewing work done on applying CML methods to crystal growth and to excitable media.
