Contents

From [MAT-84-13-K-7] Traveling Waves:
  • introductory examples of traveling waves for different types of differential equations,
  • existence and stability of traveling waves in reaction-diffusion equations,
  • migratory waves in ODE systems explained by means of examples of biological models,
  • pattern formation of traveling waves in systems of reaction-diffusion equations based on examples.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students have gained insight into some characteristics of traveling waves and deepened their knowledge by looking at concrete applications. By completing exercises, the students have developed a skilled, precise and independent handling of the terms, propositions and techniques taught in the lecture. They are also familiarized with some interdisciplinary questions.
