The propagation of wave fronts or pulses in active distributed kinetic systems can be described by semi-linear parabolic differential equations of the second order or by systems of such equations [16]. In the phenomenological investigation of such behavior there has been developed, besides the kinetic theory, an axiomatic theory of excitable media [19, 8, 91. In connection with this it is of interest to establish conditions under which the passage from the kinetic theory to the axiomatic one is justified, and to determine properties of excitable media from the corresponding properties of the kinetic equations. The aim of the present paper is to prove (under certain conditions) the validity of such passage for equations with small diffusion, describing the propagation of concentration waves, if the diffusion coefficients tend to zero. Under slightly modified assumptions these results have been announced without detailed proof in [lo].
