Psychosomatic phenomena: An extension of Wright.

We formulate a 1D partly dissipative moving-boundary reaction-diffusion system that describes the penetration of a reaction front into a concrete wall. We state the well-posedness of the model and the existence of non-trivial upper and lower bounds for the concentrations, speed of the interface, and shut-down time of the process. A numerical example illustrates the typical behavior of concentrations and interface penetration in a real-world application.
