Spectral Stability of Shock-fronted Travelling Waves Under Viscous Relaxation

Reaction-nonlinear diffusion partial differential equations can exhibit shock-fronted travelling wave solutions. Prior work by Li et al. (Physica D 423:132916, 2021) has demonstrated the existence of such waves for two classes of regularizations, including viscous relaxation (see Li et al. in Physic...

Shrnutí:Reaction-nonlinear diffusion partial differential equations can exhibit shock-fronted travelling wave solutions. Prior work by Li et al. (Physica D 423:132916, 2021) has demonstrated the existence of such waves for two classes of regularizations, including viscous relaxation (see Li et al. in Physica D 423:132916, 2021). Their analysis uses geometric singular perturbation theory: for sufficiently small values of a parameter ε > 0 characterizing the ‘strength’ of the regularization, the waves are constructed as perturbations of a singular heteroclinic orbit. Here we show rigorously that these waves are spectrally stable for the case of viscous relaxation. Our approach is to show that for sufficiently small ε > 0 , the ‘full’ eigenvalue problem of the regularized system is controlled by a reduced slow eigenvalue problem defined for ε = 0 . In the course of our proof, we examine the ways in which this geometric construction complements and differs from constructions of other reduced eigenvalue problems that are known in the wave stability literature.
