摘要
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a reaction-diffusion system with "skew-gradient" structure and discuss the stability of standing pulse solutions. In short, the skew-gradient system is a reaction-diffusion system which resembles a gradient system but has nonlinearities with different sign. We assume the existence of a standing pulse solution and define its orientation in some geometrical manner. Then we show that the stationary solution becomes unstable if time constants satisfy some inequality. The Evans function plays a crucial role for the stability analysis. © 2002 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
