In this paper we study the following one-dimensional reaction-diffusion problem $$ u_t+(-\Delta)^s u=f(x-c t, u) \;\:\textrm{ in } \mathbb{R}\times (0,+\infty), $$ where $s>\frac{1}{2}$, $c \in \mathbb{R}$ is a prescribed velocity, and $f$…

In this paper we deal with anomalous diffusions induced by Continuous Time Random Walks - CTRW in $\mathbb{R}^n$. A particle moves in $\mathbb{R}^n$ in such a way that the probability density function $u(\cdot,t)$ of finding it in region…
We consider the dynamics of the voter model and of the monomer-monomer catalytic process in the presence of many ``competing'' inhomogeneities and show, through exact calculations and numerical simulations, that their presence results in a…
In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of traveling wave solutions of the degenerate nonlinear parabolic equation: $u_{t}=u^{p}(u_{xx}+u)-\delta u$ ($\delta = 0$ or $1$) for $\xi \equiv x - ct \to - \infty$ with $c>0$. We give a…
We consider the large-time behavior of the solution $u\colon [0,\infty)\times\Z\to[0,\infty)$ to the parabolic Anderson problem $\partial_t u=\kappa\Delta u+\xi u$ with initial data $u(0,\cdot)=1$ and non-positive finite i.i.d. potentials…
We show that in the Anderson model for a two-dimensional non-Fermi liquid a magnetic instability can lead to the itinerant electron ferromagnetism. The critical temperature and the susceptibility of the paramagnetic phase have been…
We study discrete nonlinear parabolic stochastic heat equations of the form, $u_{n+1}(x)-u_n(x)=(\mathcal {L}u_n)(x)+\sigma(u_n(x))\xi_n(x)$, for $n\in {\mathbf{Z}}_+$ and $x\in {\mathbf{Z}}^d$, where $\boldsymbol \xi:=\{\xi_n(x)\}_{n\ge…
The parabolic Anderson model is the Cauchy problem for the heat equation with a random potential. We consider this model in a setting which is continuous in time and discrete in space, and focus on time-constant, independent and identically…
This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the Fisher-KPP equation in a heterogeneous medium, $$\partial_t u = \partial_{xx} u + f(x,u),$$ associated with a compactly supported initial datum. A typical nonlinearity…
Motivated by various recent experimental findings, we propose a dynamical model of intermittently self-propelled particles: active particles that recurrently switch between two modes of motion, namely an active run-state and a turn state,…
We derive exact asymptotics of time correlation functions for the parabolic Anderson model with homogeneous initial condition and time-independent tails that decay more slowly than those of a double exponential distribution and have a…
We study a one-dimensional lattice random walk with an absorbing boundary at the origin and a movable partial reflector. On encountering the reflector, at site x, the walker is reflected (with probability r) to x-1 and the reflector is…
In Part II of this series of papers, we consider an initial-boundary value problem for the Kolmogorov--Petrovskii--Piscounov (KPP) type equation with a discontinuous cut-off in the reaction function at concentration $u=u_c$. For fixed…
We present the alternative derivation of the excluded volume equation. The resulting equation is mathematically identical to the one proposed in the preceding paper. As a result, the theory reproduces well the observed points by SANS (small…
We study a continuous matrix-valued Anderson-type model. Both leading Lyapunov exponents of this model are proved to be positive and distinct for all ernergies in $(2,+\infty)$ except those in a discrete set, which leads to absence of…
In this paper, the vibration model of an elastic beam, governed by the damped Euler-Bernoulli equation $\rho(x)u_{tt}+\mu(x)u_{t}$$+\left(r(x)u_{xx}\right)_{xx}=0$, subject to the clamped boundary conditions $u(0,t)=u_x(0,t)=0$ at $x=0$,…
