Abstract
A branching random motion on a line, with abrupt changes of direction,
is studied. The branching mechanism, being independent
of random motion, and intensities of reverses are defined by a particle's
current direction. A solution of a certain hyperbolic system of coupled
non-linear equations (Kolmogorov type backward equation) has
a so-called McKean representation via such processes.
Commonly this system possesses travelling-wave solutions.
The convergence of solutions with Heaviside terminal data
to the travelling waves is discussed.
The paper realizes the McKean's program for
the Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov equation in this case.
The Feynman-Kac formula plays a key role.

| What is OpenURL? |
The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
- If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
- You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
- You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
