Local Stability of Traveling Waves of a Model Describing Host Tissue Degradation by Bacteria

Abstract

The focus of this paper is on the local stability of the traveling waves of reaction–diffusion systems that describe host-tissue degradation by bacteria. On the one hand, we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the solutions near the equilibrium points. On the other hand, the local stability of traveling waves is proved by the spectrum method based on the appropriate weighted functional space.
