Global stability of travelling fronts for a damped wave equation with bistable nonlinearity
We consider the damped wave equation on the whole real line, where is a bistable potential. This equation has travelling front solutions of the form which describe a moving interface between two different steady states of the system, one of which being the global minimum of . We show that, if the initial data are sufficiently close to the profile of a front for large , the solution of the damped wave equation converges uniformly on to a travelling front as . The proof of this global stability...
