This paper deals with various applications of two basic theorems in order- preserving systems under a group action -- monotonicity theorem and convergence theorem. Among other things we show symmetry properties of stable solutions of semilinear elliptic equations and systems. Next we apply our theory to traveling waves and pseudo-traveling waves for a certain class of quasilinear diffusion equa- tions and systems, and show that stable traveling waves and pseudo-traveling waves have monotone profiles and, conversely, that monotone traveling waves and pseudo- traveling waves are stable with asymptotic phase. We also discuss pseudo-traveling waves for equations of surface motion.
Keywords: traveling waves and pseudo-traveling waves, quasilinear diffusion equations., semilinear elliptic equations, Order-preserving systems.
