A Topological Proof of Stability of N-Front Solutions of the FitzHugh–Nagumo Equations
Tóm tắt
Consideration is devoted to traveling N-front wave solutions of the FitzHugh–Nagumo equations of the bistable type. Especially, stability of the N-front wave is proven. In the proof, the eigenvalue problem for the N-front wave bifurcating from coexisting simple front and back waves is regarded as a bifurcation problem for projectivised eigenvalue equations, and a topological index is employed to detect eigenvalues.
