We consider the initial value problem for the thermal-diffusive combustion systems of the form: $u_{1,t}= Delta_{x}u_1 - u_1 u_2^m$, $u_{2,t}= d Delta_{x} u_2 + u_1 u_2^m$, $x in R^{n}$, $n geq 1$, $m geq 1$, $d > 1$, with bounded uniformly…
We consider one-dimensional diffusions, with polynomial drift and diffusion coefficients, so that in particular the motion can be space-inhomogeneous, interacting via one-sided reflections. The prototypical example is the well-known model…
