A family of travelling wave solutions to the Fisher-KPP equation with speeds $c=\pm 5/\sqrt{6}$ can be expressed exactly using Weierstrass elliptic functions. The well-known solution for $c=5/\sqrt{6}$, which decays to zero in the…

We study an $\ep$-dependent stochastic Allen--Cahn equation with a mild random noise on a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$. Here $\ep$ is a small positive parameter that represents formally the thickness of the solution…
