Admissible speeds of transition fronts for non-autonomous monostable equations

Analysis of PDEs 2014-11-24 v1

Abstract

We consider a reaction-diffusion equation with a nonlinear term of the Fisher-KPP type, depending on time tt and admitting two limits as t±t\to\pm\infty. We derive the set of admissible asymptotic past and future speeds of transition fronts for such equation. We further show that any transition front which is non-critical as tt\to-\infty always admits two asymptotic past and future speeds. We finally describe the asymptotic profiles of the non-critical fronts as t±t\to\pm\infty.
