Beschreibung:
We investigate the existence and uniqueness of traveling wave solutions of the reaction-diffusion equation in periodic heterogeneous media. The reaction-diffusion equation is considered in nondivergence form with no first order term. Our traveling wave problem is considered in similar form in [1] by Xin in the special case that the reaction-term is given by a combustion nonlinearity ƒ = ƒ(u). We prove the existence of traveling wave solutions in case of a class of nonlinearities ƒ = ƒ(x, u), which are a generalization of a combustion nonlinearity. In particular, ƒ is allowed to depend explicitly on x. In case of an additional assumption on ƒ, we also prove a monotonicity result and a uniqueness result. References [1] X. Xin.
