Course description and aims

The aim is to learn methods for studying nonlinear partial differential equations through the analysis of travelling waves of bistable reaction-diffusion equations. First, in one-dimensional space, the construction of a travelling wave by a phase plane analysis and the stability analysis by a comparison principle are performed. Then, as a non-planar travelling wave, a V-shaped traveling wave in two-dimensional space is discussed.
This course follows Advanced courses in Analysis A.

Student learning outcomes

Students are expected to understand methods for studying reaction-diffusion equations with applications.
