Axially asymmetric traveling fronts in balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equations

For a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation, an axisymmetric traveling front has been well known. This paper proves that an axially asymmetric traveling front with any positive speed does exist in a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation. Our method is as follows. We use a pyramidal traveling front for an unbalanced reaction-diffusion equation whose cross section has a major axis and a minor axis. Preserving the ratio of the major axis and a minor axis to be a constant and taking the balanced limit, we obtain a traveling front in a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation. This traveling front is monotone decreasing with respect to the traveling axis, and its cross section is a compact set with a major axis and a minor axis when the constant ratio is not 1

Axisymmetric traveling fronts in balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equations

For a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation, the existence of axisymmetric traveling fronts has been studied by Chen, Guo, Ninomiya, Hamel and Roquejoffre [4]. This paper gives another proof of the existence of axisymmetric traveling fronts. Our method is as follows. We use pyramidal traveling fronts for unbalanced reaction-diffusion equations, and take the balanced limit. Then we obtain axisymmetric traveling fronts in a balanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation. Since pyramidal traveling fronts have been studied in many equations or systems, our method might be applicable to study axisymmetric traveling fronts in these equations or systems

Traveling front of polyhedral shape for a nonlocal delayed diffusion equation

This paper is concerned with the existence and stability of traveling fronts with convex polyhedral shape for nonlocal delay diffusion equations. By using the existence and stability results of V-form fronts and pyramidal traveling fronts, we first show that there exists a traveling front $V(x,y,z)$ with polyhedral shape of nonlocal delay diffusion equation associated with $z=h(x,y)$. Moreover, the asymptotic stability and other qualitative properties of such traveling front $V(x,y,z)$ are also established
