We consider the singular limit of a bistable reaction diffusion equation in the case when the velocity of the traveling wave solution depends on the space variable and converges to a discontinuous function. We show that the family of solutions converges to the stable equilibria off a front propagating with a discontinuous velocity. The convergence is global in time by applying the weak geometric flow uniquely defined through the theory of viscosity solutions and the level-set equation.

Abstract

We consider the singular limit of a bistable reaction diffusion equation in the case when the velocity of the traveling wave solution depends on the space variable and converges to a discontinuous function. We show that the family of solutions converges to the stable equilibria off a front propagating with a discontinuous velocity. The convergence is global in time by applying the weak geometric flow uniquely defined through the theory of viscosity solutions and the level-set equation.
