Abstract
Splitting of autowaves was observed in a two-dimensional photosensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction medium after a short, high-intensity inhibitory light pulse. These results, apparently contradicting the standard properties of autowaves, are explained within the context of reaction-diffusion equations.
