We investigate front propagation in a reacting particle system in which particles perform scale-free random walks known as Levy flights. The system is described by a fractional generalization of a reaction-diffusion equation. We focus on…

Using pointwise semigroup techniques, we establish sharp rates of decay in space and time of a perturbed reaction diffusion front to its time-asymptotic limit. This recovers results of Sattinger, Henry and others of time-exponential…

The empirical speed of travelling reaction-diffusion fronts fluctuates due to the intrinsic shot noise of the reactions and diffusion. Here we study the long-time front speed fluctuations of a stochastic Huxley-Zel'dovich front. It involves…

Invasion fronts in ecology are well studied but very few mathematical results concern the case with variable motility (possibly due to mutations). Based on an apparently simple reaction-diffusion equation, we explain the observed phenomena…

We study reaction-diffusion processes with multi-species of particles and hard-core interaction. We add boundary driving to the system by means of external reservoirs which inject and remove particles, thus creating stationary currents. We…

We consider reaction-diffusion equations $\partial_tu=\Delta u+f(u)$ in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$ and we are interested in the large-time dynamics of solutions ranging in the interval $[0,1]$, with general unbounded initial support.…

This paper presents a study of finite element error estimation of advection-diffusion-reaction equation with spatially variable coefficients. We have derived a priori and a posteriori errors in both energy and L2 norm. We have used…

We study reaction diffusion equations with a deterministic reaction term as well as two random reaction terms, one that acts on the interior of the domain, and another that acts only on the boundary of the domain. We are interested in the…

Diffusion and reaction of initially separated ions A- and B+ in the presence of counter ions A'+ and B'- is studied. The dynamics is described in terms of reaction-diffusion equations obeying local electroneutrality, and the time-evolution…

The microscopic structure and movement of reaction fronts in reaction diffusion systems far from equilibrium are investigated. We show that some three-site interaction models exhibit exact diffusive shock measures, i.e. domains of different…

In this study, we investigate the dynamics of moving fronts in three-dimensional spaces, which form as a result of in-situ combustion during oil production. This phenomenon is also observed in other contexts, such as various autowave models…

We consider one-dimensional reaction-diffusion equations for a large class of spatially periodic nonlinearities (including multistable ones) and study the asymptotic behavior of solutions with Heaviside type initial data. Our analysis…

We discuss, at the mean-field level, the asymptotic shape of the reaction fronts in the general nA+mB->C reaction-diffusion processes with initially separated reactants, thus generalizing to arbitrary reaction-order kinetics the work done…

We consider planar traveling fronts between stable steady states in two-component singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion-advection equations, where a small quantity $\delta^2$ represents the ratio of diffusion coefficients. The fronts…

We consider in this paper a diffusion-convection reaction equation in one space dimension. The main assumptions are about the reaction term, which is monostable, and the diffusivity, which changes sign once or twice; then, we deal with a…
