Traveling Waves for a Boundary Reaction-diffusion Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove the existence of a traveling wave solution for a boundary reaction diffusion equation when the reaction term is the combustion nonlinearity with ignition temperature. A key role in the proof is plaid by an explicit formula for traveling wave solutions of a free boundary problem obtained as singular limit for the reaction-diffusion equation (the so-called high energy activation energy limit). This explicit formula, which is interesting in itself, also allows us to get an estimate on the decay at infinity of the traveling wave (which turns out to be faster than the usual exponential decay).

Inviscid traveling waves of monostable nonlinearity
Inviscid traveling waves are ghost-like phenomena that do not appear in reality because of their instability. However, they are the reason for the complexity of the traveling wave theory of reaction-diffusion equations and understanding them will help to resolve related puzzles. In this article, we obtain the existence, the uniqueness and the regularity of inviscid traveling waves under a gener...
متن کاملRemark on Critical Speed of Traveling Wavefronts for Nicholson’s Blowflies Equation with Diffusion∗
This note is devoted to the study on the traveling wavefronts to the Nicholson’s blowflies equation with diffusion, a time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation. For the critical speed of traveling waves, we give a detailed analysis on its location and asymptotic behavior with respect to the mature age.
متن کاملPulsating Traveling Waves in the Singular Limit of a Reaction-diffusion System in Solid Combustion
We consider a coupled system of parabolic/ODE equations describing solid combustion. For a given rescaling of the reaction term (the high activation energy limit), we show that the limit solution solves a free boundary problem which is to our knowledge new. In the time-increasing case, the limit coincides with the Stefan problem with spatially inhomogeneous coefficients. In general it is a para...
متن کاملStability of Traveling Waves for Degenerate Systems of Reaction Diffusion Equations
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.
متن کاملSome traveling wave solutions of soliton family
Solitons are ubiquitous and exist in almost every area from sky to bottom. For solitons to appear, the relevant equation of motion must be nonlinear. In the present study, we deal with the Korteweg-deVries (KdV), Modied Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) and Regularised LongWave (RLW) equations using Homotopy Perturbation method (HPM). The algorithm makes use of the HPM to determine the initial expansion...
