摘要

This paper is concerned with transition fronts of bistable reaction–diffusion systems in domains with multiple cylindrical branches. We first show that there is a unique front-like entire solution originating from planar fronts in some branches; then, under the complete propagation we show that the front-like entire solution is a transition front and converges to planar fronts (with some shift) in other branches. Here an entire solution is referred to a solution that is defined for all time \(t\in \mathbb {R}\) t R and in the whole space \(x\in \Omega \) x Ω . Furthermore, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the global mean speed of any transition front, assuming the complete propagation of the front-like entire solutions emanating from each of the branches. Finally, we give some sufficient conditions on the domain to ensure that the propagation is complete.
