Exponential stability of large-amplitude traveling fronts for quasi-linear relaxation systems with diffusion (Q544115)

This paper is concerned with the stability of traveling front solutions for \(2\times2\) quasi-linear relaxation systems with small diffusion rate. By applying a geometric singular perturbation method, special Evans function estimates, detailed spectral analysis, and \(C_0\) semigroup theories, the authors prove that all the non-degenerate waves for semi-linear relaxation systems are locally exponentially stable in some exponentially weighted spaces. They also obtain the linear exponential stability of the non-degenerate waves for quasi-linear relaxation systems, where the wave strengths can be large.
