Transition fronts for inhomogeneous monostable reaction-diffusion equations via linearization at zero

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove existence of transition fronts for a large class of reaction-diffusion equations in one dimension, with inhomogeneous monostable reactions. We construct these as perturbations of corresponding front-like solutions to the linearization of the PDE at u=0u=0. While a close relationship of the solutions to the two PDEs has been well known and exploited for KPP reactions (and our method is an extension of such ideas from [15]), to the best of our knowledge this is the first time such an approach has been used in the construction and study of fronts for non-KPP monostable reactions.
