Figure 2.
The solution of 25 with $p = 4$ , $q = 2$ , $H = 1$ , and $f(v) = v^{q'-1} (1-v)$ , for $c = 2$ . Actually, with the notations used throughout the section, here $L = 1$ , $q = q' = 2$ , so the lower bound for $c^*$ is equal to $2$ and it actually seems that $c = 2$ is already an admissible speed. Notice that $y$ is indeed very small, so the process appears ruled by the $q$ -Laplacian
Figure 3.
The solution of the differential equation in 25 satisfying $y(H) = 0$ , with $p = 4$ , $q = 2$ , $H = 7$ , $f(v) = v^{q'-1} (H-v)$ and $c = 2\sqrt{7}$ ; here $L = 7$ and the bound 27 would give $c^* \geq 2\sqrt{7}$ . However, this speed appears far from being admissible and, indeed, $y$ reaches values much greater than $1$ , for which the $p$ -Laplacian rules the diffusion
Figure 4.
The solution of 25 with $p = 4$ , $q = 2$ , $Q(s) = \tfrac{q-1}{q} \vert s \vert^q - \tfrac{p-1}{p} \vert s \vert^p$ , $f(v) = v^{q'-1} (1-v)$ and $c = 2$ ; here $y$ stays well below the threshold of invertibility of $Q$ , so that the situation roughly appears the same as in Figure 2 and the bound given by 12 already gives an admissible speed
Figure 5.
The solution of the differential equation in 25 satisfying $y(H) = 0$ , for $H = 4$ , $f(v) = v^{q'-1} (4-v)$ and the other positions as in Figure 4. Here the derivative of the wave profile has to increase too much in order for $y$ to connect the equilibria $0$ and $4$ , so that we enter the non-invertibility region for $Q$ . Thus, we are not able to find any solution of 5
