Abstract: We study a one dimensional metastable dynamics of internal interfaces for the initial boundary value problem for the following convection-reaction-diffusion equation �egin{equation*} partial_t u = varepsilon partial_x^2 u -partial_x f(u)+ f'(u). end{equation*} A metastable behavior appears when the time-dependent solution develops into a layered function in a relatively short time, and subsequent approaches its steady state in a very long time interval. A rigorous analysis is used to study such behavior, by means of the construction of a one-parameter family ${U^{v}arepsilon(x;xi)}_{x}i$ of approximate stationary solutions and of a linearization of the original system around an element of this family. We obtain a system consisting in an ODE for the parameter $xi$, describing the position of the interface, coupled with a PDE for the perturbation $v$, defined as the difference $v:=u-U^{v}arepsilon$. The key of our analysis are the spectral properties of the linearized operator around an element of the family $U^{v}arepsilon$: the presence of a first eigenvalue, small with respect to $varepsilon$, leads to a metastable behavior when $varepsilonll1$.
