Stability of the steady states in multidimensional reaction diffusion systems arising in combustion theory

Abstract: We prove that the steady state of a class of multidimensional reaction-diffusion systems is asymptotically stable at the intersection of unweighted space and exponentially weighted Sobolev spaces, and pay particular attention to a special case, namely, systems of equations that arise in combustion theory. The steady-state solutions considered here are the end states of the traveling fronts associated with the systems, and thus the present results complement papers \cite{GLS1, GLS2, GLS3, GLSR, GLY} that study the stability of traveling fronts.
