We study the transient dynamics of single species reaction diffusion systems whose reaction terms $f(u)$ vary nonlinearly near $u\approx 0$, specifically as $f(u)\approx u^{2}$ and $f(u)\approx u^{3}$. We consider three cases, calculate…

We study a class of free boundary systems with nonlocal diffusion, which are natural extensions of the corresponding free boundary problems of reaction diffusion systems. As before the free boundary represents the spreading front of the…

Consider a finite system of diffusing particles coupled through a reactive boundary. Each particle is reflected, but may react with the boundary according to a killing mechanism which depends on the current reactivity of the boundary and…
We solve the linear advection-diffusion equation with a variable speed on a semi-infinite line. The variable speed is determined by an additional condition at the boundary, which models the dynamics of a contact line of a hydrodynamic flow…

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…
