Unique travelling-wave shooting-parameter conjecture for low ECM density

About 5 years old · traced to

Fix κ>0\kappa>0 and define

m∗(κ)=1κ+1.m^*(\kappa)=\frac{1}{\kappa+1}.

Let mˉ∈(0,m∗(κ)]\bar{m}\in(0,m^*(\kappa)] and c≥21−mˉc\geq2\sqrt{1-\bar{m}}. For the travelling-wave system in the source, let α0(c)\alpha_0(c) and α1(c)\alpha_1(c) be the specified shooting-parameter bounds, and let (nα,c,pα,c,mα,c)(n_{\alpha,c},p_{\alpha,c},m_{\alpha,c}) denote the solution satisfying the asymptotic properties in Lemma 3.1. Unique shooting-parameter conjecture. There exists a unique α′∈[α0(c),α1(c))\alpha'\in[\alpha_0(c),\alpha_1(c)) such that

(nα′,c,pα′,c,mα′,c)⟶(0,0,mˉ)as y→+∞.(n_{\alpha',c},p_{\alpha',c},m_{\alpha',c})\longrightarrow(0,0,\bar{m})\qquad\text{as }y\to+\infty.

In particular, if c=21−mˉc=2\sqrt{1-\bar{m}}, then α′=α0(c)\alpha'=\alpha_0(c). The claim would establish uniqueness of the travelling wave in the stated low-density regime, conditional on the preceding concavity conjecture.
