We investigate the existence of stationary fronts in a coupled system of two sine-Gordon equations with a smooth, "hat-like" spatial inhomogeneity. The spatial inhomogeneity corresponds to a spatially dependent scaling of the sine-Gordon…

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…
