Abstract: We study linear stability of planar travelling waves for a scalar reaction-diffusion equation with non-linear anisotropic diffusion. The mathematical model is derived from the full thermo-hydrodynamical model describing the process of Inertial Confinement Fusion. We show that solutions of the Cauchy problem with physically relevant initial data become planar exponentially fast with rate $s(ep{s}^{\prime },k)>0$, where $ep{s}^{\prime }=frac{T}_{min}{T}_{max}ll1$ is a small temperature ratio and $kgg1$ the transversal wrinkling wavenumber of perturbations. We rigorously recover in some particular limit $(ep{s}^{\prime },k)ightarrow(0,+infty)$ a dispersion relation $s(ep{s}^{\prime },k)simgamm{a}_0{k}^{alpha}$ previously computed heuristically and numerically in some physical models of Inertial Confinement Fusion.
