Soliton-like and non-soliton regimes of interaction of taxis waves (illustrated with an example of bacterial population waves)

It has been shown in our previous studies that, during collision, bacterial population waves can penetrate each other or stop. In the present study, the mechanism of the two regimes of interaction is considered in detail. Based on the experimental and theoretical research, it has been shown that this interaction is a vivid example to confirm one of the characteristic properties of waves in cross-diffusion systems.
