Abstract: By a refinement of the technique used by Johnson and Zumbrun to show stability under localized perturbations, we show that spectral stability implies nonlinear modulational stability of periodic traveling-wave solutions of reaction diffusion systems under small perturbations consisting of a nonlocalized modulation plus a localized perturbation. The main new ingredient is a detailed analysis of linear behavior under modulational data

, where

is the background profile and

h_{0}

is the initial modulation

Review text

In this article is considered the reaction diffusion system \[ k_*u_t=k_*^2u_{xx}+f(u)+k_*cu_x, \] where \(c\) is the speed of the original traveling wave, the wave number \(k_*\) is chosen so that \(u(x+1)=u(x)\), \(f\in {\mathcal C}^K(\mathbb R^n)\), \(K\geq 3\). The authors prove that the considered equation has a global solution \(\tilde{u}\) with initial data \(\tilde{u}_0\) and a phase function \(\psi(x, t)\) with initial data \(h_0\). Also, the authors prove that the 1-periodic solution \(\overline{u}\) of the considered equation is nonlinearly boundedly stable in \(L^{\infty}(\mathbb R)\) with respect to initial perturbation \(\tilde{u}_0-\overline{u}\).
