We perform the analysis of a hyperbolic model which is the analog of the Fisher-KPP equation. This model accounts for particles that move at maximal speed ϵ-1 (ϵ > 0), and proliferate according to a reaction term of monostable type. We study the existence and stability of traveling fronts. We exhibit a transition depending on the parameter ϵ: for small ϵ the behavior is essentially the same as for the diffusive Fisher-KPP equation. However, for large ϵ the traveling front with minimal speed is discontinuous and travels at the maximal speed ϵ-1. The traveling fronts with minimal speed are linearly stable in weighted L2 spaces. We also prove local nonlinear stability of the traveling front with minimal speed when ϵ is smaller than the transition parameter.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate asymptotic behaviors of the solutions for a competition system with random vs. nonlocal dispersal. We first prove the existence of invasion traveling waves via using the theory of asymptotic speeds of spread. Then we prove the invasion traveling waves are exponentially stable as perturbation in some exponentially weighted spaces by using the weighted energy and the squeezing technique.

Abstract This article communicates results on regular depolarization cascades in periodically-kicked feedforward chains of excitable two-dimensional FitzHugh-Nagumo systems driven by sufficiently strong excitatory forcing at the front node. The study documents a parameter exploration by way of changes to the forcing period, upon which the dynamics undergoes a transition from simple depolarization to more complex behavior, including the emergence of mixed-mode oscillations. Both rigorous studies and careful numerical observations are presented. In particular, we provide rigorous proofs for existence and stability of periodic traveling waves of depolarization, as well as the existence and propagation of a simple mixed-mode oscillation that features depolarization and refraction in alternating fashion. Detailed numerical investigation reveals a mechanism for the emergence of complex mixed-mode oscillations featuring a potentially high number of large amplitude voltage spikes interspersed by an occasional small amplitude reset that fails to cross threshold. Further careful numerical investigation provides insights into the propagation of this complex phenomenology in the downstream, where we see an effective filtration property of the network; the latter amounts to a successive reduction in the complexity of mixed-mode oscillations down the chain.

A modification of the parabolic Allen–Cahn equation, determined by the substitution of Fick’s diffusion law with a relaxation relation of Cattaneo–Maxwell type, is considered. The analysis concentrates on traveling fronts connecting the two stable states of the model, investigating both the aspects of existence and stability. The main contribution is the proof of the nonlinear stability of the wave, as a consequence of detailed spectral and linearized analyses. In addition, numerical studies are performed in order to determine the propagation speed, to compare it to the speed for the parabolic case, and to explore the dynamics of large perturbations of the front.
