Convergence to the minimal-speed front along level sets

Let uu be the solution of the homogeneous reaction-diffusion equation with initial datum as in the paper, let Xλ(t,x)X_\lambda(t,x') be its λ\lambda-level set, and let φ\varphi be the traveling-front profile with minimal speed cc^*. Assume the hypotheses of Theorems

andand

. Convergence-along-level-sets conjecture. For every λ(0,1)\lambda\in(0,1), every sequence tn+t_n\to+\infty, and every bounded sequence xnRN1x'_n\in\mathbb{R}^{N-1},

u(tn+t,xn+x,Xλ(tn,xn)+xN)φ(xNct+φ1(λ))u(t_n+t,x'_n+x',X_\lambda(t_n,x'_n)+x_N)\longrightarrow\varphi\bigl(x_N-c^*t+\varphi^{-1}(\lambda)\bigr)

as n+n\to+\infty in Cloc1;2(Rt×RxN1)C^{1;2}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}_t\times\mathbb{R}^{N-1}_{x'}) and uniformly in xNRx_N\in\mathbb{R}. If additionally limx+γ(x)=0\lim_{|x'|\to+\infty}\nabla\gamma(x')=0, the same convergence should hold for arbitrary sequences xnRN1x'_n\in\mathbb{R}^{N-1}. The claim describes local convergence to the one-dimensional minimal-speed front, extending the asymptotic planar behavior established by the surrounding theorems.
