Abstract

This thesis addresses the existence and stability of localised solutions in some nonstandard systems of partial differential equations. In particular, it locates the linearised spectrum of a Keller-Segel model for bacterial chemotaxis with logarithmic chemosensitivity, establishes the existence of travelling wave solutions to the Gatenby-Gawlinski model for tumour invasion with the acid-mediation hypothesis using geometric singular perturbation theory, and formulates the Evans function for a trivial defect solution in a general reaction diffusion equation with an added heterogeneous defect. Extending the analysis to these non-standard problems provides a foundation and insight for more general dynamical systems.
