Phys. Rev. E 75, 066203 (2007) [11 pages]External forcing and feedback control of nonlinear dissipative wavesReceived 26 December 2006; published 7 June 2007 The dynamics of traveling waves in a nonlinear dissipative system are studied analytically and numerically. Spatiotemporal forcing and feedback forcing are applied to the traveling waves in a phase-separated system undergoing chemical reactions. The stability of the traveling waves and interesting, unexpected behavior, including the reversal of the propagation direction are analyzed in one dimension. The phase dynamical approach is applied to gain a theoretical understanding of the dynamics. © 2007 The American Physical Society URL:
