University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104 i. Introduction Many questions arising in the physical and biological sciences• are concerned with constructing traveling wave solutions of a system of nonlinear partial differential equations. That is, given a system of partial differential equations of the form (i) u+ f (u) x=..~ B (U) Ux] x t-~< x<~, t> 0, we seek a solution of (i) of the form (2) u= u (~),~= x-ct, where c is a constant, either given beforehand, or to be determined as part of the problem. Here f is a smooth vector-valued function and B (u) is a positive definite (or semidefinite) matrix-valued function. If we substitute (2) into (i), we are led to a system of ordinary differential equations of the following type: d
