Reducing the European Union GHG emissions by at least 80% by 2050 will require a near zero carbon electricity, road and rail transport industry, and heating and cooling in buildings. As compared to "business as usual" the amount of energy required will basically vary according to the level of...

We study a mathematical model for high Lewis number combustion processes with the reaction rate of the form of an Arrhenius law with or without an ignition cut-off. An efficient method for the proof of the existence and uniqueness of combustion fronts is provided by geometric singular...
