Abstract

A theoretical analysis is made of the nonlinear stage of instability evolution in a monostable active medium described by a “reaction-diffusion” type equation. The boundary of that region of the medium in which instability develops propagates at constant velocity. Group-theoretical analysis of the problem yields an analytic expression for the propagation velocity of this boundary. The results may be important for the analysis of instability evolution in a wide range of active media.
