Abstract

top
In this paper, we discuss traveling wave solutions for equations that model nonlinear media with diffusion. Such solutions can also describe, for example, the propagation of heteroclinic fronts or impulses (medium excitations). We present several examples of processes in which the notion of a traveling wave captures the essence of the analytical phenomena, including plasma sustained by a laser beam, phase transitions in van der Waals fluids, skin morphogenesis, and the DNA-RNA transcription process.
