This paper investigates the effects of a degenerate diffusion term in reaction-diffusion models ut=[D(u)ux]x + g(u) with Fisher-KPP type g. Both in the case when D(0) = 0 and when D(0) = D(l) = 0, with D(u) > 0 elsewhere, we obtain a continuum of travelling wave solutions having wave speed c greater than a threshold value c* and we show the appearance of a sharp-type profile when c = c*. These results solve recent conjectures formulated by Sanchez-Garduno and Maini (J. Differential Equations 117 (1995) 281) and Satnoianu et al. (Discrete Continuous Dyn.

Abstract

This paper investigates the effects of a degenerate diffusion term in reaction-diffusion models ut=[D(u)ux]x + g(u) with Fisher-KPP type g. Both in the case when D(0) = 0 and when D(0) = D(l) = 0, with D(u) > 0 elsewhere, we obtain a continuum of travelling wave solutions having wave speed c greater than a threshold value c* and we show the appearance of a sharp-type profile when c = c*. These results solve recent conjectures formulated by Sanchez-Garduno and Maini (J. Differential Equations 117 (1995) 281) and Satnoianu et al. (Discrete Continuous Dyn. Systems (Series B) 1 (2000) 339).
