Abstract

In this chapter, the main topic is traveling waves for time-dependent spatially extended systems in one space dimension. Note that we have already extensively discussed various techniques to prove the existence of waves for partial differential equations (PDEs); see, e.g., Chapter 6 Hence, we focus here on further topics beyond the existence of waves in PDEs.
