Abstract
The transition from uni- to bi-directional front propagation, i.e. the breakdown of the strict concept of strong and weak domains, is studie d experimentally using a chain of 128 coupled nonlinear electrical osc illators as a two component reaction-diffusion system. We compare the experimentally obtained transition points with recently derived theore tical criteria and find good agreement.
