ABSTRACT

Bounded traveling waves, arising in combustion model for gas-solid reactions in a porous medium, are studied. We consider the existence, uniqueness and several qualitative properties. In particular we investigate waves with finiteness and derive estimates in the limit of vanishing diffusion.
