In this paper we study for small positive the slow motion of the solution for evolution equations of Burgers’ type with small diffusion, ut = uxx + f(u)ux , u(x, 0) = u0(x), u(±1, t) = ±1, (?) on the bounded spatial domain [−1, 1]; f is a smooth function satisfying f(1) > 0, f(−1) < 0 and ∫ 1 −1 f(t)dt = 0. The initial and boundary value problem (?) has a unique asymptotically stable equilibriu...

This paper is concerned with Nicholson’s blowflies equation, a kind of time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation. It is known that when the ratio of birth rate coefficient and death rate coefficient satisfies 1 < p d ≤ e, the equation is monotone and possesses monotone traveling wavefronts, which have been intensively studied in previous research. However, when p d > e, the equation losses its m...

We examine the existence of traveling wave solutions for a continuum neuronal network modeled by integro-differential equations. First, we consider a scalar field model with a general smooth firing rate function and a spatiotemporally varying stimulus. We prove that a traveling front solution that is locked to the stimulus exists for a certain interval of stimulus speeds. Next, we include a slo...

Under the traveling wave transformation, Fornberg-Whitham equation is reduced to an ordinary differential equation whose general solution can be obtained using the factorization technique. Furthermore, we apply the change of the variable and complete discrimination system for polynomial to solve the corresponding integrals and obtain the classification of all single traveling wave solutions to ...

We prove that if a solution of an equation of KdV type is bounded above by a traveling wave with an amplitude that decays faster than a given linear exponential then it must be zero. We assume no restrictions neither on the size nor in the direction of the speed of the traveling wave.

Lubrication equations for a surfactant-driven flow of a thin layer of fluid are considered with a singular surfactant-dependent surface tension. It is shown that there exists a bounded traveling wave solution which connects a fully surfactant-coated film to an uncoated film. The regularity of the traveling wave depends on whether or not surface diffusion of the insoluble surfactant is included.

The extended homogeneous balance method is used to construct exact traveling wave solutions of the Maccari system, in which the homogeneous balance method is applied to solve the Riccati equation and the reduced nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Many exact traveling wave solutions of the Maccari system equation are successfully obtained.

This paper is concerned with entire solutions of a class of bistable delayed lattice differential equations with nonlocal interaction. Here an entire solution is meant by a solution defined for all (n, t) ∈ Z × R. Assuming that the equation has an increasing traveling wave front with nonzero wave speed and using a comparison argument, we obtain a two-dimensional manifold of entire solutions. In...

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 l...
