Abstract

We establish in this paper the logarithmic Bramson correction for Fisher-KPP equations on the lattice Z\mathbb{Z}. The level sets of solutions with step-like initial conditions are located at position ct32λlnt+O(1)c_*t-\frac{3}{2\lambda_*}\ln t+\mathcal{O}(1) as t+t\rightarrow+\infty for some explicit positive constants cc_* and λ\lambda_*. This extends a well-known result of Bramson in the continuous setting to the discrete case using only PDE arguments. A by-product of our analysis also gives that the solutions approach the family of logarithmically shifted traveling front solutions with minimal wave speed cc_* uniformly on the positive integers, and that the solutions converge along their level sets to the minimal traveling front for large times.
