This volume contains a wealth of results and methodologies applicable to a wide range of problems arising in reaction-diffusion theory. The first part is concerned with obtaining the complete structure of the large-time solution of scalar reaction diffusion equations, and systems of reaction-diffusion equations. The second part is concerned with the analysis of a class of singular reaction-diffusion equations.
In this detailed analysis, use is made of the method of matched asymptotic expansions, dynamical systems theory, and comparison theorems, which provide a powerful combination of techniques for the detailed analysis of this broad class of reaction-diffusion equations.
The monograph can be viewed both as a handbook, and as a detailed description of the methodology. Researchers in reaction-diffusion theory, and scientists applying reaction-diffusion theory to such areas as chemical kinetics, biological systems, epidemiology and population dynamics, will find it a popular addition to the literature.

Zusatztext
From the reviews of the first edition:
"The book contains useful information on the topic, especially precise (and non-standard) asymptotic expansions in different regions collected with the help of the MAE-s into the complete characterization of the solutions to the nonlinear problems in consideration. The book is warmly recommended to specialists in ODE-s, PDE-s, researchers in reaction-diffusion theory, physicists, engineers and to students with basic knowledge on parabolic equations."
