Wave Propagation in Nonlinear Parabolic Problems and Other Problems.

Abstract

Contents: Convergence to travelling waves of solutions of nonlinear diffusion equations; Stability of travelling pulses of systems of reaction-diffusion equations; The relation between the inverse scattering method for nonlinear wave equations and connection problems for certain nonlinear ordinary differential equations; and Stokes' conjecture concerning the existence of a wave of greatest height and the angle of its slope.
