Abstract

In this work we prove that for some class of initial data the solution of the Cauchy problem ut = (um)xx + a(u m)x + u(1 - um-1), x ∈ ℝ, t > 0 u(0, x) = u0(x), u0(x) ≥ 0 approaches the travelling solution, spreading either to the right or to the left, or two travelling waves moving in opposite directions.
