Abstract
We consider the one-dimensional Fisher-KPP equation with step-like initial data. Nolen, Roquejoffre, and Ryzhik showed that the solution converges at long time to a traveling wave at a position , with error for any . With their methods, we find a refined shift such that in the frame moving with , the solution satisfies for a certain profile independent of initial data. The coefficient depends on initial data, but is universal, and agrees with a finding of Berestycki, Brunet, and Derrida in a closely-related problem. Furthermore, we predict the asymptotic forms of and to arbitrarily high order.
