Abstract
We investigate the singular limit, as , of the Fisher equation in the whole space. We consider initial data with compact support plus perturbations with {\it slow exponential decay}. We prove that the sharp interface limit moves by a constant speed, which dramatically depends on the tails of the initial data. By performing a fine analysis of both the generation and motion of interface, we provide a new estimate of the thickness of the transition layers.
