We present here a brief theory of reaction diffusion waves.
Law of Mass Action
The law of mass action states that equation rates are proportional to the concentration of reacting species and the ratio in which they combined. It is discussed in detail in Billingham and King 2000. We will present here a few simple examples.
Example 1: Simple Decay
Suppose we have of chemical [math]\displaystyle{ P }[/math] which decays to [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math], i.e.
[math]\displaystyle{ P \to A }[/math]
