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

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 c21mˉc\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=21mˉc=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.
