We consider a reaction-diffusion system of activator-inhibitor type arising in the theory of phase transition. It appears in biological contexts such as pattern formation in population genetics. The purpose of this work is to prove the convergence of the solution of this system to the solution of a free boundary Problem involving a motion by mean curvature.
