چکیده

We consider a nonlinear transport equation as a hyperbolic generalisation of the well-known reaction diffusion equation. Themodel is based on earlier work of K.P. Hadeler attempting to include run-and-tumble motion into the mathematical description. Previously, we proved the existence of strictly monotone travelling fronts for the three main types of the nonlinearity: the positive source term, the combustion law, and the bistable case. Here we revisit the latter case, showing that bistable fronts are unique up to translation.

Travelling fronts for multidimensional nonlinear transport equations

We consider a nonlinear transport equation as a hyperbolic generalisation of the well-known reaction diiusion equation. We show the existence of strictly monotone travelling fronts for the three main types of the nonlinearity: the positive source term, the combustion law, and the bistable case. In the rst case there is a whole interval of possible speeds containing its strictly positive minimum...

Travelling Fronts in Asymmetric Nonlocal Reaction Diffusion Equations: the Bistable and Ignition Cases

This paper is devoted to the study of the travelling front solutions which appear in a nonlocal reaction-diffusion equations of the form ∂u ∂t = J ⋆ u− u+ f(u). When the nonlinearity f is of bistable or ignition type, and the dispersion kernel J is asymmetric, the existence of a travelling wave is proved. The uniqueness of the speed of the front is also established. The construction of the fron...

Fronts and Interfaces in Bistable Extended Mappings

We study the interfaces’ time evolution in one-dimensional bistable extended dynamical systems with discrete time. The dynamics is governed by the competition between a local piece-wise affine bistable mapping and any couplings given by the convolution with a function of bounded variation. We prove the existence of travelling wave interfaces, namely fronts, and the uniqueness of the correspondi...

Global asymptotic stability of bistable traveling fronts in reaction-diffusion systems and their applications to biological models

This paper deals with the global asymptotic stability and uniqueness (up to translation) of bistable traveling fronts in a class of reaction-diffusion systems. The known results do not apply in solving these problems because the reaction terms do not satisfy the required monotone condition. To overcome the difficulty, a weak monotone condition is proposed for the reaction terms, which is called...

Convergence to Travelling Waves in a Reaction-diffusion System Arising in Contaminant Transport

We consider a nonlinear system of parabolic equations describing the transport of contaminant in porous media. For this system travelling wave solutions are known to exist. We prove existence and uniqueness of general solutions of the system and convergence to travelling waves.
