Abstract
The behavior of chemical waves advancing through a disordered excitabl e medium is investigated in terms of percolation theory and autowave p roperties in the framework of the light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. By controlling the number of sites with a given illuminatio n, different percolation thresholds for propagation are observed; whic h depend on the relative wave transmittances of the two-state medium c onsidered.
