The notion of traveling wave, which typically refers to some particular spatio-temporal con- nections between two stationary states (typically, entire solutions keeping the same profile's shape through time), is essential in the…
We study the speed of propagation of fronts for the scalar reaction-diffusion equation $u_t = u_{xx} + f(u)$\, with $f(0) = f(1) = 0$. We give a new integral variational principle for the speed of the fronts joining the state $u=1$ to…

In this paper, we study the large time behaviour of solutions of multistable reaction-diffusion equations in $\mathbb{R}^N$, with a spatially periodic heterogeneity. By multistable, we mean that the problem admits a finite -- but…
We extend the class of initial conditions for scalar delayed reaction-diffusion equations $u_t (t,x)=u_{xx}(t,x)+f(u(t, x), u(t-h, x))$ which evolve in solutions converging to monostable traveling waves. Our approach allows to compute, in…

We examine a generalized KPP equation with a ``$q$-diffusion", which is a framework that unifies various standard linear diffusion regimes: Fickian diffusion ($q = 0$), Stratonovich diffusion ($q = 1/2$), Fokker-Planck diffusion ($q = 1$),…
We study the existence and qualitative properties of solutions to the Cauchy problem associated to the quasilinear reaction-diffusion equation $$ \partial_tu=\Delta u^m+(1+|x|)^{\sigma}u^p, $$ posed for $(x,t)\in\real^N\times(0,\infty)$,…

This paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the delayed monostable equation: $(*)$ $u_{t}(t,x) = u_{xx}(t,x) - u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)),$ $x \in \mathbb{R},\ t >0,$ where $h>0$ and the reaction term $g: \mathbb{R}_+ \to…

We consider a generalized degenerate diffusion equation with a reaction term $u_t=[A(u)]_{xx}+f(u)$, where $A$ is a smooth function satisfying $A(0)=A'(0)=0$ and $A(u),\ A'(u),\ A''(u)>0$ for $u>0$, $f$ is of monostable type in $[0,s_1]$…
