We consider the motions of front or pulse solutions for Fitzh-Hugh Nagumo equations on one-dimensional heterogeneous media. We derive equations describing the motions of single front or single pulse solution depending on the heterogeneity and also consider the interaction of multi-front solutions. Through the analysis, we show opposite influences for a forward and a backward front solution from the heterogeneity in FitzHugh-Nagumo equations. Some part of this research is a joint work with Chao-Nien Chen and Shyuh-yaur Tzeng.
