Popis: | In this paper, we prove the existence of traveling wave solutions for an incompressible Darcy's free boundary problem recently introduced in [6] to describe cell motility. This free boundary problem involves a nonlinear destabilizing term in the boundary condition which describes the active character of the cell cytoskeleton. By using two different methods, a constructive method via a graph analysis and a local bifurcation method, we prove that traveling wave solutions exist when the destabilizing term is strong enough. |
