Abstract:
The existence of traveling waves for laminar flames with complex chemistry is proved. The crucial assumptions are that all reactions have to be exothermic and that no cycles occur in the graph of the reaction network. The method is to solve the equations first in a bounded interval by a degree argument and then taking the infinite domain limit.References
