Travelling Wave Fronts in Combustion and Chemical Reaction Models

We study travelling wave fronts for a system of two reaction-diffusion equations arising from combustion, isothermal autocatalytic chemical reactions and epidemiology. In particular, we prove the existence of a family of wave fronts (one for each wave speed) as well as the existence of the minimal speed. Asymptotic behavior of the wave fronts is established.
