Existence of travelling waves for a reaction-diffusion system with a line of fast diffusion

Analysis of PDEs 2014-10-20 v1

Abstract

We prove existence and uniqueness of travelling waves for a reaction-diffusion system coupling a classical reaction-diffusion equation in a strip with a diffusion equation on a line. To do this we use a continuation method which leads to further insight into the system. In particular, the transition occurs through a singular perturbation which seems new in this context, connecting the system with a Wentzell type boundary value problem.
