Traveling-wave Solutions of Convection-diffusion Systems by Center Manifold Reduction

چکیده
Traveling waves u(x st) for systems of conservation laws ut + Df(u)ux = (B(u)ux)x were studied by Majda and Pego (J. Di erential Eqs. 56 (1985), 229{262) under the assumption that u( 1) and u(+1) are close. Their results were recently extended to general convection-di usion systems ut +A(u)ux = (B(u)ux)x by Sainsaulieu (SIAM J. Math. Anal. 27 (1996), 1286{1310). Sainsaulieu's proofs use xed-point arguments in a function space. We rederive Sainsaulieu's results by center manifold reduction.

Traveling-wave solutions of convection–di"usion systems by center manifold reduction
A convection–di$usion system in one space dimension is a partial di"erential equation of the form ut + A(u)ux =(B(u)ux)x: (1.1) Here u∈Rn, and A(u) and B(u) are n×n matrices that we shall assume are C2 functions of u. If we ignore di"usion, we have the convection system ut + A(u)ux =0: (1.2) If A(u)=Df(u) for some 4ux function f : Rn → Rn, then Eq. (1.2) becomes ut + f(u)x =0; (1.3) a system of...
متن کاملCombustion Fronts in a Porous Medium with Two Layers
We study a model for the lateral propagation of a combustion front through a porous medium with two parallel layers having different properties. The reaction involves oxygen and a solid fuel. In each layer, the model consists of a nonlinear reaction–diffusion–convection system, derived from balance equations and Darcy’s law. Under an incompressibility assumption, we obtain a simple model whose ...
متن کاملEntire Solutions of Reaction-diffusion Equations with Balanced Bistable Nonlinearities
This paper deals with entire solutions of a bistable reaction-diffusion equation for which the speed of the traveling wave connecting two constant stable equilibria is zero. Entire solutions which behave as two traveling fronts approaching, with super-slow speeds, from opposite directions and annihilating in a finite time are constructed by using a quasiinvariant manifold approach. Such solutio...
متن کاملAsymptotic Stability of Traveling Wave Solutions for Perturbations with Algebraic Decay
For a class of scalar partial differential equations that incorporate convection, diffusion, and possibly dispersion in one space and one time dimension, the stability of traveling wave solutions is investigated. If the initial perturbation of the traveling wave profile decays at an algebraic rate, then the solution is shown to converge to a shifted wave profile at a corresponding temporal alge...
متن کاملTraveling waves in a diffusive predator–prey model with holling type-III functional response
We establish the existence of traveling wave solutions and small amplitude traveling wave train solutions for a reaction-diffusion system based on a predator–prey model with Holling type-III functional response. The analysis is in the three-dimensional phase space of the nonlinear ordinary differential equation system given by the diffusive predator– prey system in the traveling wave variable. ...
