Generalized Traveling Waves in Disordered Media: Existence, Uniqueness, and Stability
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove existence, uniqueness, and stability of transition fronts (generalized traveling waves) for reaction-diffusion equations in cylindrical domains with general inhomogeneous ignition reactions. We also show uniform convergence of solutions with exponentially decaying initial data to time translates of the front. In the case of stationary ergodic reactions the fronts are proved to propagate with a deterministic positive speed. Our results extend to reaction-advection-diffusion equations with periodic advection and diffusion.

Traveling Waves of Some Symmetric Planar Flows of Non-Newtonian Fluids
We present some variants of Burgers-type equations for incompressible and isothermal planar flow of viscous non-Newtonian fluids based on the Cross, the Carreau and the power-law rheology models, and on a symmetry assumption on the flow. We numerically solve the associated traveling wave equations by using industrial data and in order to validate the models we prove existence and uniqueness of ...
متن کاملTraveling Curved Waves in Two-Dimensional Excitable Media
This paper treats a free boundary problem in two-dimensional excitable media arising from a singular limiting problem of a FitzHugh–Nagumo-type reaction-diffusion system. The existence and uniqueness up to translations of two-dimensional traveling curved waves solutions is shown. To study the stability of the waves, the local and global existence and uniqueness of solutions to the free boundary...

We study the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic stability of time periodic traveling wave solutions to a periodic diffusive Lotka-Volterra competition system. Under certain conditions, we prove that there exists a maximal wave speed c(*) such that for each wave speed c ≤ c(*), there is a time periodic traveling wave connecting two semi-trivial periodic solutions of the corresponding kinetic ...

In this article, we study the existence and the uniqueness of traveling waves for a discrete reaction-diffusion equation with bistable non-linearity, namely a generalization of the fully overdamped Frenkel-Kontorova model. This model consists in a system of ODE’s which describes the dynamics of crystal defects in a lattice solids. Under very poor assumptions, we prove the existence of a traveli...
متن کاملGlobal Asymptotic Stability of Traveling Waves in Delayed Reaction-Diffusion Equations
The existence and comparison theorem of solutions is first established for the quasimonotone delayed reaction-diffusion equations on R by appealing to the theory of abstract functional differential equations. The global asymptotic stability, Liapunov stability and uniqueness of traveling wave solutions are then proved by the elementary superand sub-solution comparison and squeezing methods. Sup...
