When fast diffusion and reactive growth both induce accelerating invasions

Analysis of PDEs 2018-09-20 v1

Abstract

We focus on the spreading properties of solutions of monostable equations with fast diffusion. The nonlinear reaction term involves a weak Allee effect, which tends to slow down the propagation. We complete the picture of [3] by studying the subtle case where acceleration does occur and is induced by a combination of fast diffusion and of reactive growth. This requires the construction of new elaborate sub and supersolutions thanks to some underlying self-similar solutions.
