Stability and uniqueness of traveling waves for system of nonlocal evolution equations with bistable nonlinearity (Q1030531)

The author considers a system of nonlocal evolution equations with a convolution operator and a bistable nonlinearity. The uniqueness and stability of traveling wave solutions are investigated. It is also proved that traveling waves are monotone and exponentially asymptotically stable, up to translation. The considered system includes the classical Allen-Cahn equation, nonlocal phase transition equation, excitatory neural model and thalamic model as examples. The uniform characteristics of these models is that the nonlinearities are bistable and the nonlocal terms are diffusive. Besides, the author extends the theory of traveling waves for the scalar case to the system with nonlocal interaction.
