Abstract

We describe acceleration of the front propagation for solutions to a class of monostable nonlinear equations with a nonlocal diffusion in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, d1d\geq1. We show that the acceleration takes place if either the diffusion kernel or the initial condition has 'regular' heavy tails in Rd\mathbb{R}^d (in particular, decays slower than exponentially). Under general assumptions which can be verified for particular models, we present sharp estimates for the time-space zone which separates the region of convergence to the unstable zero solution with the region of convergence to the stable positive constant solution. We show the variety of different possible rates of the propagation starting from a little bit faster than a linear one up to the exponential rate. The paper generalizes to the case d>1d>1 our results for the case d=1d=1 obtained early in https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00036811.2017.1400537 .
