Convergence to Traveling Waves for Reaction-Diffusion Systems using Lyapunov Type Arguments

This paper investigates the convergence of certain solutions of reaction-diffusion systems to traveling waves. Using Lyapunov-type arguments, we show that if the initial data is sufficiently close to a wave profile at infinity, then the solution converges to this special solution as time tends to infinity. We apply this theory to predator-prey systems and, in particular, prove the stability of traveling waves for several specific examples.

Abstract

This paper investigates the convergence of certain solutions of reaction-diffusion systems to traveling waves. Using Lyapunov-type arguments, we show that if the initial data is sufficiently close to a wave profile at infinity, then the solution converges to this special solution as time tends to infinity. We apply this theory to predator-prey systems and, in particular, prove the stability of traveling waves for several specific examples.
