Layered patterns in reaction-diffusion models with Perona-Malik diffusions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we deal with a reaction-diffusion equation in a bounded interval of the real line with a nonlinear diffusion of Perona-Malik's type and a balanced bistable reaction term. Under very general assumptions, we study the persistence of layered solutions, showing that it strongly depends on the behavior of the reaction term close to the stable equilibria pm1, described by a parameter heta>1. If hetain(1,2), we prove existence of steady states oscillating (and touching) pm1, called compactons, while in the case heta=2 we prove the presence of metastable solutions, namely solutions with a transition layer structure which is maintained for an exponentially long time. Finally, for heta>2, solutions with an unstable transition layer structure persist only for an algebraically long time.
