We consider the parabolic one-dimensional Allen–Cahn equation
The steady state 
connects, as a ‘transition layer’, the stable phases –1 and +1. We construct a solution u with any given number k of transition layers between –1 and +1. Mainly they consist of k time-travelling copies of w, with each interface diverging as t → –∞. More precisely, we find
where the functions ξj (t) satisfy a first-order Toda-type system. They are given by
for certain explicit constants γjk.
