Existence of reaction-diffusion-convection waves in unbounded strips is proved in the case of small Rayleigh numbers. In the bistable case the wave is unique, in the monostable case they exist for all speeds greater than the minimal one. The proof uses the implicit function theorem. Its application is based on the Fredholm property, index, and solvability conditions for elliptic problems in unbounded domains.

In the 4-dimensional gauge field theory of dislocation and disclination continuum, the topological current structure and the topological quantization of disclinations are approached. Using the implicit function theorem and Taylor expansion, the origin and bifurcation theories of disclinations are detailed in the neighborhoods of limit points and bifurcation points, respectively. The branch solutions at the limit points and the different directions of all branch curves at 1-order and 2-order degenerated points are calculated. It is pointed out that an original disclination point can split into four disclinations at one time at most. Since the disclination current is identically conserved, the total topological quantum numbers of these branched disclinations will remain constant during their origin and bifurcation processes. Furthermore, one can see the fact that the origin and bifurcation of disclinations are not gradual changes but sudden changes. As some applications of the proposal theory, two examples are presented in the paper.

AbstractReaction-diffusion equation with a bistable nonlocal nonlinearity is considered in the case where the reaction term is not quasi-monotone. For this equation, the existence of travelling waves is proved by the Leray-Schauder method based on the topological degree for elliptic operators in unbounded domains and a priori estimates of solutions in properly chosen weighted spaces.
