EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS OF A SHARP TRAVELING-WAVE IN DEGENERATE NONLINEAR DIFFUSION FISHER-KPP EQUATIONS

In this paper we use a dynamical systems approach to prove the existence of a unique critical value c of the speed c for which the degenerate density-dependent diffusion equation u(t)=[D(u)u(x)](x)+g(u) has: 1. no travelling wave solutions for 0<c<c, 2. a travelling wave solution u(x,t)= phi(x...

Sumario:In this paper we use a dynamical systems approach to prove the existence of a unique critical value c of the speed c for which the degenerate density-dependent diffusion equation u(t)=[D(u)u(x)](x)+g(u) has: 1. no travelling wave solutions for 0<c<c, 2. a travelling wave solution u(x,t)= phi(x-ct) of sharp type satisfying phi(-infinity)=1, phi(tau)=0 For All tau greater than or equal to tau
