Abstract:
We study speeds of traveling waves in bistable, spatially inhomogeneous media at parameter regimes where speeds approach zero. We provide a set of conceptual assumptions under which we can prove power-law asymptotics for the speed. The approach is based on invariant manifolds of dynamical systems in infinite-dimensional space, group actions and ergodic theory.
The talk is based on a joint work with A. Scheel.
