obtain the existence of the asymptotic speed of propagation, the existence and uniqueness …

Depinning transitions in discrete reaction-diffusion equations

We consider spatially discrete bistable reaction-diffusion equations that admit wave front
solutions. Depending on the parameters involved, such wave fronts appear to be pinned or …

Traveling waves in spatially discrete dynamical systems of diffusive type

SN Chow, R Conti, R Johnson, J Mallet-Paret… - … Systems: Lectures given …, 2003 - Springer
We discuss recent results in the theory of lattice differential equations (LDE's), particularly for
LDE's of diffusive type. Broadly speaking, an LDE is an infinite system of ordinary differential …
