We study the existence, uniqueness, and stability of traveling waves for a system of ordinary differential equations with bistable nonlinearity in discrete periodic media.
This system arises from a spatial discrete version of some semilinear parabolic equations with periodic nonlinearity. The main tools to derive the uniqueness and asymptotic stability are comparison principle, spectrum analysis of the linearized operator around a steady state, and the construction of suitable super/subsolutions. To derive the existence of traveling wave, we first convert the system to an integral equation. Then we establish the existence of traveling wave for this system of ordinary differential equations.
