THE NON-EXISTENCE OF HOPE BIFURCATION IN A DOUBLE-LAYERED BOUNDARY PROBLEM SATISFYING THE DIRICHLET BOUNDARY CONDITION

  • Published : 1999.04.01

Abstract

A free boundary problem is derived from a singular limit system of a reaction diffusion equation whose reaction terms are bistable type. In this paper, we shall consider a free boundary problem with two layers satisfying the zero flux boundary condition and shall show that the Hopf bifurcation can not occur as a parameter varies.
