The Motion of Weakly Interacting Pulses in Reaction-Diffusion Systems

The interaction of stable pulse solutions on R1 is considered when distances between pulses are sufficiently large. We construct an attractive local invariant manifold giving the dynamics of interacting pulses in a mathematically rigorous way. The equations describing the flow on the manifold is also given in an explicit form. By it, we can easily analyze the movement of pulses such as repulsiveness, attractivity and/or the existence of bound states of pulses. Interaction of front solutions are also treated in a similar way.
