Front propagation in bistable reaction-diffusion-advection equation (Q2501616): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the existence and properties of front propagation between the stationary states \(0\) and \(1\) of the reaction-diffusion-advection equation \(v_{\tau}+h(v)v_{x}=(D(v)v_{x})_{x}+G(v)\), where \(G\) is a bistable reaction term and \(D\) is a strictly positive diffusive process. They show that the additional transport term \(h\) can cause the disappearance of such wavefronts and prove that their existence depends both on the local behavior of \(G\) and \(h\) near the unstable equilibrium and on a suitable sign condition on \(h\) in \([0,1]\).
