【 摘 要 】

The higher order diffusion can be understood as a generalization to the classical fickian diffusion. To account for such generalization, the Landau-Ginzburg free energy concept is applied leading to a fourth order spatial operator. This kind of diffusion induces a set of instabilities in the proximity of the critical points raising difficulties to study the convergence of Travelling Waves (TW) solutions. This paper aims at introducing a system of two species driven by a mutual interaction towards prospering and with a logistic term in their respective reactions. Previous to any analytical finding of TW solutions, the instabilities of such solutions are studied. Afterwards, the Geometric Perturbation Theory is applied to provide means to search for a linearized hyperbolic manifold in the proximity of the equilibrium points. The homotopy graphs for each of the flows to the hyperbolic manifolds are provided, so that analytical solutions can be obtained in the proximity of the critical points. Additionally, the set of eigenvalues in the homotopy graphs tend to cluster and synchronize for increasing values of the TW-speed.
