Exact Propagating Wave Solutions in Reaction Cross-Diffusion System

Reaction-diffusion systems with cross-diffusion terms in addition to, or instead of, the usual self-diffusion demonstrate interesting features which motivate their further study. The present work is aimed at designing a toy reaction-cross-diffusion model with exact solutions in the form of propagating fronts. We propose a minimal model of this kind which involves two species linked by cross-diffusion, one of which governed by a linear equation and the other having a polynomial kinetic term. We classify the resulting exact propagating front solutions. Some of them have some features of the Fisher-KPP fronts and some features of the ZFK-Nagumo fronts.
