Our theory covers the two most important cases: Mackey-Glass type diffusive equations and KPP-Fisher type equations. The proofs are based on a variant of Hale-Lin functional-analytic approach to the heteroclinic solutions where Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction is realized in a `mobile' weighted space of $C^2$-smooth functions. This method requires a detailed analysis of a family of associated linear differential Fredholm operators: at this stage, the discrete Lyapunov functionals by Mallet-Paret and Sell are used in an essential way.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-10-24T01:32:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34K12", "35K57", "92D25" ], "keywords": [ "global continuation", "monotone wavefronts", "associated linear differential fredholm operators", "discrete lyapunov functionals", "mackey-glass type diffusive equations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1210.6419G" } } }
