We study the stability of the combustion waves that occur in a simplified model for injection of air into a porous medium that initially contains some solid fuel. We determine the essential spectrum of the linearized system at a travelling wave. For certain waves, we are able to use a weight function to stabilize the essential spectrum. We perform a numerical computation of the Evans function to show that some of these waves have no unstable discrete spectrum. The system is partly parabolic, so ...[more]
