Stability of Traveling Waves for Degenerate Systems of Reaction Diffusion Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
For the linearization of a degenerate reaction-diffusion system at a traveling pulse or front, we prove a theorem that allows one to derive information about the semigroup generated by the linear operator from spectral information about the linear operator itself. The result is used to complete existing proofs of stability of traveling fronts for the FitzhughNagumo equation.

Mean Field Effects for Counterpropagating Traveling Wave Solutions of Reaction-Diffusion Systems
In many problems, e.g., in combustion or solidification, one observes traveling waves that propagate with constant velocity and shape in the x direction, say, are independent of y and z and describe transitions between two equilibrium states, e.g., the burned and the unburned reactants. As parameters of the system are varied, these traveling waves can become unstable and give rise to waves havi...
متن کاملSystems of Coupled Diffusion Equations with Degenerate Nonlinear Source Terms: Linear Stability and Traveling Waves
Diffusion equations with degenerate nonlinear source terms arise in many different applications, e.g., in the theory of epidemics, in models of cortical spreading depression, and in models of evaporation and condensation in porous media. In this paper, we consider a generalization of these models to a system of n coupled diffusion equations with identical nonlinear source terms. We determine si...
متن کاملTraveling waves in coupled reaction-diffusion models with degenerate sources.
We consider a general system of coupled nonlinear diffusion equations that are characterized by having degenerate source terms and thereby not having isolated rest states. Using a general form of physically relevant source terms, we derive conditions that are required to trigger traveling waves when a stable uniform steady-state solution is perturbed by a highly localized disturbance. We show t...
متن کاملPeriodic Traveling Waves in Integrodifferential Equations for Nonlocal Dispersal
Periodic traveling waves (wavetrains) have been extensively studied for reaction-diffusion equations. One important motivation for this work has been the identification of periodic traveling wave patterns in spatiotemporal data sets in ecology. However, for many ecological populations, diffusion is no more than a rough phenomenological representation of dispersal, and spatial convolution with a...
متن کاملGeneralized Traveling Waves in Disordered Media: Existence, Uniqueness, and Stability
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 propagat...
