Existence of pulse solutions in a bulk--surface reaction--diffusion system for cell polarization

In this paper, we prove the existence of stationary pulse solutions for a bulk-surface reaction-diffusion system modeling cell polarization in two-dimensional domains. Using a singular perturbation method, we construct pulse solutions whose centers lie near non-degenerate critical points of a geometry-dependent potential expressed in terms of the Neumann Green's function, as formally predicted in watanabe2026. The main analytical difficulty arises from the half-Laplacian induced by the logarithmic singularity of the Green's function, resulting in algebraically rather than exponentially decaying inner solutions. Our analysis may also serve as a useful guide for applying singular perturbation methods to other bulk-surface type systems.
