Multiplicity of supercritical fronts for reaction-diffusion equations in cylinders

چکیده
We study multiplicity of the supercritical traveling front solutions for scalar reaction-diffusion equations in infinite cylinders which invade a linearly unstable equilibrium. These equations are known to possess traveling wave solutions connecting an unstable equilibrium to the closest stable equilibrium for all speeds exceeding a critical value. We show that these are, in fact, the only traveling front solutions in the considered problems for sufficiently large speeds. In addition, we show that other traveling fronts connecting to the unstable equilibrium may exist in a certain range of the wave speed. These results are obtained with the help of a variational characterization of such solutions.

متن کاملSpeed-up of combustion fronts in shear flows
This paper is concerned with the analysis of speed up of reaction-diffusion-advection traveling fronts in infinite cylinders with periodic boundary conditions. The advection is a shear flow with a large amplitude and the reaction is nonnegative, with either positive or zero ignition temperature. The unique or minimal speeds of the traveling fronts are proved to be asymptotically linear in the f...

Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows.

Systems in which reaction terms are coupled to diffusion and advection transports arise in a wide range of chemical engineering applications, physics, biology and environmental. In these cases, the components of the unknown can denote concentrations or population sizes which represent quantities and they need to remain positive. Classical finite difference schemes may produce numerical drawback...
متن کاملDynamical Behaviors of a Delayed Reaction-diffusion Equation
In this paper, we derive a delayed reaction-diffusion equation to describe a two-species predator-prey system with diffusion terms and stage structure. By coupling the uniformly approximate approach with the method of upper and lower solutions, we prove that the traveling wave fronts exist, which connect the zero solution with the positive steady state. Finally, we draw a conclusion that the ex...
