The evolution of the cellular structure of a gas-detonation 
wave propagating in a circular pipe was investigated. The propagation 
regimes, hereafter "detonation modes," for which the organization 
of the flow in the detonation-wave front and, accordingly, the shape 
of the cellular structure have the best symmetry and recurrence, have 
been revealed. It is shown that the realization of only the single-mode 
regime of propagation is improbable and that the complete state of 
the wave-front structure as a function of time can be represented 
as a superposition of periodic functions corresponding to the states 
of neighboring detonation modes, and their normalized amplitude is 
proportional to the probability of the presence of the state of a 
given mode when a gas-detonation wave propagates.
