This paper deals with the stability of semi-wavefronts to the following delay non-local monostable equation: $\dot{v}(t,x) = \Delta v(t,x) - v(t,x) + \int_{\R^d}K(y)g(v(t-h,x-y))dy, x \in \R^d,\ t >0;$ where $h>0$ and $d\in\Z_+$. We give…
We extend the class of initial conditions for scalar delayed reaction-diffusion equations $u_t (t,x)=u_{xx}(t,x)+f(u(t, x), u(t-h, x))$ which evolve in solutions converging to monostable traveling waves. Our approach allows to compute, in…

We consider the damped wave equation \alpha u_tt + u_t = u_xx - V'(u) on the whole real line, where V is a bistable potential. This equation has travelling front solutions of the form u(x,t) = h(x-st) which describe a moving interface…
We are concerned with the asymptotic behaviour of classical solutions of systems of the form u_t = Au_xx + f(u, u_x), x in R, t>0, u(x,t) a vector in RN, with u(x,0)= U(x), where A is a positive-definite diagonal matrix and f is a…

The location of roots of the characteristic equation of a linear delay differential equation (DDE) determines the stability of the linear DDE. However, by its transcendency, there is no general criterion on the contained parameters for the…
We consider the damped hyperbolic equation in one space dimension $\epsilon u_{tt} + u_t = u_{xx} + F(u)$, where $\epsilon$ is a positive, not necessarily small parameter. We assume that $F(0)=F(1)=0$ and that $F$ is concave on the interval…
