We study reaction-diffusion equations of various types in the half-space. For bistable reactions with Dirichlet boundary conditions, we prove conditional uniqueness: there is a unique nonzero bounded steady state which exceeds the bistable…

We study analytically and numerically a bistable reaction-diffusion equation on an arbitrary finite network. We prove that stable fixed points (multi-fronts) exist for any configuration as long as the diffusion is small. We also study fold…

We consider a reaction-diffusion system for two densities lying in adjacent domains of $\mathbb{R}^N$. We treat two configurations: either a cylinder and its complement, or two half-spaces. Diffusion and reaction heterogeneities for the two…
