We treat the following FitzHugh-Nagumo equations as an example. \[ \begin{cases} u_t=u_{xx} +f(u)-w\\ w_t=\varepsilon (u-\gamma w),\end{cases} \tag{1} \] where \(x,t\in\mathbb{R}\) and \(u(x,t)\), \(w(x,t)\in\mathbb{R}\) and \(1\gg \varepsilon>0\), \(\gamma>0\) are parameters. In the system, the nonlinear term \(f(u)\) is assumed to be a smooth cubic-like function of \(u\). In this paper we shall restrict our attention to large \(\gamma>0\) so that the system (1) has three spatially homogeneous stationary solutions. Let \(\xi=x+ct\) be a moving frame for some constant \(c>0\). A travelling wave solution \((u(x,t), w(x,t))= (u(\xi), w(\xi))\) of (1) at velocity \(c\) is a solution of \[ \begin{cases} 0=u_{\xi\xi}-cu_\xi+ f(u)-w\\ 0=-cw_\xi+ \varepsilon (u-\gamma w). \end{cases}\tag{2} \] It is well known that (2) has a heteroclinic solution for certain parameter values. This solution corresponds to a travelling wave of (1). We are concerned with the stability of these travelling waves.
