On the Analysis of Travelling Waves to a Nonlinear Flux Limited Reaction–diffusion Equation
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we study the existence and qualitative properties of travelling waves associated to a nonlinear flux limited partial differential equation coupled to a Fisher–Kolmogorov–Petrovskii–Piskunov type reaction term. We prove the existence and uniqueness of finite speed moving fronts of C classical regularity, but also the existence of discontinuous entropy travelling wave solutions.

Travelling waves in nonlinear diffusion-convection-reaction
The study of travelling waves or fronts has become an essential part of the mathematical analysis of nonlinear diffusion-convection-reaction processes. Whether or not a nonlinear second-order scalar reaction-convection-diffusion equation admits a travelling-wave solution can be determined by the study of a singular nonlinear integral equation. This article is devoted to demonstrating how this c...
متن کاملA numerical investigation of a reaction-diffusion equation arises from an ecological phenomenon
This paper deals with the numerical solution of a class of reaction diffusion equations arises from ecological phenomena. When two species are introduced into unoccupied habitat, they can spread across the environment as two travelling waves with the wave of the faster reproducer moving ahead of the slower.The mathematical modelling of invasions of species in more complex settings that include ...
متن کاملTravelling-wave analysis of a model describing tissue degradation by bacteria
We study travelling-wave solutions for a reaction-diffusion system arising as a model for host-tissue degradation by bacteria. This system consists of a parabolic equation coupled with an ordinary differential equation. For large values of the ‘degradation-rate parameter’ solutions are well approximated by solutions of a Stefan-like free boundary problem, for which travelling-wave solutions can...
متن کاملTravelling wave solutions of the reaction-diffusion mathematical model of glioblastoma growth: an Abel equation based approach.
We consider quasi-stationary (travelling wave type) solutions to a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation with arbitrary, autonomous coefficients, describing the evolution of glioblastomas, aggressive primary brain tumors that are characterized by extensive infiltration into the brain and are highly resistant to treatment. The second order nonlinear equation describing the glioblastoma growth th...
