Abstract

The paper is devoted to a reaction-diffusion equation in an infinite two-dimensionalstrip with nonlinear boundary conditions. The existence of travelling waves is proved inthe bistable case by the Leray-Schauder method. It is based on a topological degree forelliptic problems in unbounded domains and on a priori estimates of solutions.
