Stability of Single Transition Layer in Mass-Conserving Reaction-Diffusion Systems with Bistable Nonlinearity

Mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems with bistable nonlinearity are considered under general assumptions. The existence of stationary solutions with a single internal transition layer in such reaction-diffusion systems is shown using the analytical singular perturbation theory. Moreover, a stability criterion for the stationary solutions is provided by calculating the Evans function.

Single Transition Layer in Mass-Conserving Reaction-Diffusion Systems with Bistable Nonlinearity

Mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems with bistable nonlinearity are useful models for studying cell polarity formation, which is a key process in cell division and differentiation. We rigorously show the existence and stability of stationary solutions with a single internal transition layer in such reaction-diffusion systems under general assumptions by the singular perturbation theory. Moreover, we present a meaningful model for understanding the existence of an unstable transition layer solution; our numerical simulations show that the unstable solution is a separatrix of the dynamics of the model.

Unfolding symmetric Bogdanov-Takens bifurcations for front dynamics in a reaction-diffusion system

This manuscript extends the analysis of a much studied singularly perturbed three-component reaction-diffusion system for front dynamics in the regime where the essential spectrum is close to the origin. We confirm a conjecture from a preceding paper by proving that the triple multiplicity of the zero eigenvalue gives a Jordan chain of length three. Moreover, we simplify the center manifold reduction and computation of the normal form coefficients by using the Evans function for the eigenvalues. Finally, we prove the unfolding of a Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation with symmetry in the model. This leads to stable periodic front motion, including stable traveling breathers, and these results are illustrated by numerical computations.
