1. Background
Systems never reach their asymptotic states in a practical time.
→ Transient states play important roles.
Two kinds of exponential transients I. Metastable dynamics in reaction-diffusion systems (Kawasaki and Ohta 1982) in ring neural networks (Horikawa and Kitajima 2008) II. Transient chaos in coupled map lattices (Crutchfield and Kaneko 1988) in neural networks (Bastolla and Parisi 1998)

6. Conclusion ・ Rings of unidirectionally and bidirectionally coupled maps
→ Transient traveling pulses and standing pulses
・ Duration T of transient pulses increases exponentially with initial pulse width l0. T ∝ exp(l0)
・ Duration T of transient pulses generated under random initial conditions is distributed in a power law form.
