This paper deals with the existence of monotone heteroclinic traveling waves for some reaction-convection-diffusion equations with saturating (and possibly density-dependent) nonlinear diffusion, modeling physical situations where a saturation effect appears for large values of the gradient. An estimate for the critical speed—namely, the least speed for which a monotone heteroclinic traveling wave exists—is provided in the presence of different kinds of reaction terms (e.g., monostable and bistable ones).

Abstract

This paper deals with the existence of monotone heteroclinic traveling waves for some reaction-convection-diffusion equations with saturating (and possibly density-dependent) nonlinear diffusion, modeling physical situations where a saturation effect appears for large values of the gradient. An estimate for the critical speed—namely, the least speed for which a monotone heteroclinic traveling wave exists—is provided in the presence of different kinds of reaction terms (e.g., monostable and bistable ones). The dependence of the admissible speeds on a small real parameter breaking the diffusion is also briefly discussed, and some numerical simulations are also shown.
