We construct a heteroclinic solution to the FitzHugh-Nagumo type reaction-diffusion system (FHN RD system) with heterogeneity by the sub-supersolution method due to [5]. $σ(d,γ)$ is introduced as the Rayleigh quotient corresponding to a linearized eigenvalue problem of the subsolution, where $d$ and $γ$ are parameters. The key to construct the solution is the uniform estimate for $σ(·,·)$ from below. In addition, it enables us to analyze an asymptotic behavior of the solution.

Keywords: Sub-supersolution method, FitzHugh-Nagumo type reaction diffusion systems, heteroclinic solution.
