Abstract :
The authors show that the propagation speed in the singular limit (with no recovery processes) is a homogeneous function of the order 1/2 with respect to the “intensive” shape parameters of the I-V curve and derive appropriate general scaling laws. The authors also introduce a new simple iterative procedure for solving the nonlinear eigenvalue problem
