The FitzHugh-Nagumo equation \[ u_ t=u_{xx}+f(u)-w,\quad w_ t=b(u- dw), \] is a simplified mathematical model of a nerve axon. If the parameters \(b>0\) and \(d>0\) are taken suitably, this equation has a travelling front solution. We study the stability of the front solution by eigenvalue analysis. It is proved analytically that the front solution is exponentially stable if \(b>0\) is sufficiently small.
