Abstract
It had been shown that the transition from a rigidly rotating spiral wave to a meandering spiral wave is via a Hopf bifurcation. Many studies have shown that these bifurcations are supercritical, but, by using simulations in a comoving frame of reference, we present numerical results which show that subcritical bifurcations are also present within FitzHugh-Nagumo. We show that a hysteresis region is present at the boundary of the rigidly rotating spiral waves and the meandering spiral waves for a particular set of parameters, a feature of FitzHugh-
Nagumo that has previously not been reported. Furthermore, we present a evidence that this bifurcation is highly sensitive to initial conditions, and it is possible to convert one solution in the hysteresis loop to the other.
