Abstract:
The stability of travelling wave solutions of singularly perturbed, diffusive predator-prey systems is proved by showing that the linearized operator about such a solution has no unstable spectrum and that the translation eigenvalue at $\lambda = 0$ is simple. The proof illustrates the application of some recently developed geometric and topological methods for counting eigenvalues.References
