Abstract

We study the asymptotic exponential stability of traveling front solutions for a general monotone reaction-diffusion bistable system with some diffusion coefficients being zero. The main tools to obtain our results are comparison principle, suitably constructed super-sub solutions, and squeezing methods. No spectrum analysis of the linear operator associated with traveling front solutions under study is needed. Therefore, our results not only recover and/or complement earlier stability results in the literature, but also provide a simple method to show the asymptotic exponential stability of traveling front solutions for a general monotone reaction-diffusion bistable system with positive diffusion coefficients.
