Abstract

We consider the singularly perturbed partly dissipative reaction-diffusion system $ve^2 left(fracpartial upartial t - fracpartial^2 upartial x^2right) =g(u,v,x,t,ve), fracpartial vpartial t = f(u,v,x,t,ve)$ under the condition that the degenerate equation $g(u,v,t,0)=0$ has two solutions $u= varphi_i(v,x,t), i=1,2,$ that intersect (exchange of stabilities) and that $v$ is a vector. Our main result concerns existence and asymptotic behavior in $ve$ of the solution of the initial boundary value problem under consideration. The proof is based on the method of asymptotic lower and upper solutions.
