Abstract

We extend the rigorous approach for the existence and stability of spikes to reaction-diffusion systems with spatially inhomogeneous coefficients. Two particular cases are studied: precursors (inhomogeneous decay rate of activator) and discontinuous diffusivities. Results on the instability due to a precursor and on the existence and stability of a spike near the jump discontinuity of the inhibitor diffusivity are derived.
