Existence and stability of a stable stationary solution with a boundary layer for a system of reaction–diffusion equations with Neumann boundary conditions
Abstract:
We consider an initial boundary value problem for a singularly perturbed parabolic system of two reaction–diffusion-type equations with Neumann conditions, where the diffusion coefficients are of different degrees of smallness and the right-hand sides need not be quasimonotonic. We obtain an asymptotic approximation of the stationary solution with a boundary layer and prove existence theorems, the asymptotic stability in the sense of Lyapunov, and the local uniqueness of such a solution. The obtained result is applied to a class of problems of chemical kinetics.
