Asymptotic profiles of variational solutions for a FitzHugh-Nagumo-type elliptic system. (Q1413605)

The author considers a semilinear elliptic system of FitzHugh-Nagumo type on a bounded domain with the same diffusion constant \(\lambda^{-1}\) under the Dirichlet boundary condition \[ -\Delta u= \lambda(f(u)-v),\quad -\Delta v= \lambda(\Delta u-\gamma v)\text{ in }\Omega. \] In some parameter range on \((\delta,\gamma)\) this system has at least two nontrivial solutions when \(\lambda\) is sufficiently large, and these solutions are obtained by variational methods. The author studies the asymptotic profiles of these solutions for large \(\lambda\) in some parameter range on \((\delta,\gamma)\), especially for small \(\delta\) and large \(\gamma\).
