In this paper, we prove via counterexamples that adding an advection term of the form Shear flow (whose streamlines are parallel to the direction of propagation) to a reaction-diffusion equation will be an enough heterogeneity to spoil the…
The empirical velocity of a reaction-diffusion front, propagating into an unstable state, fluctuates because of the shot noises of the reactions and diffusion. Under certain conditions these fluctuations can be described as a diffusion…
In this paper, we study the propagation speeds of reaction-diffusion-advection (RDA) fronts in time-periodic cellular and chaotic flows with Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov (KPP) nonlinearity. We first apply the variational principle to…
Reaction-diffusion problems are often described at a macroscopic scale by partial derivative equations of the type of the Fisher or Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov equation. These equations have a continuous family of front solutions, each…
In this article, we report on the curious phenomena of anomalous spreading in a system of coupled Fisher-KPP equations. When a single parameter is set to zero, the system consists of two uncoupled Fisher-KPP equations which give rise to…
This paper investigates the large time behaviour of a three species reaction-diffusion system, modelling the spatial invasion of two predators feeding on a single prey species. In addition to the competition for food, the two predators…
We discuss the problem of fronts propagating into metastable and unstable states. We examine the time development of the leading edge, discovering a precursor which in the metastable case propagates out ahead of the front at a velocity more…
We consider a one-dimensional reaction-diffusion equation of Fisher-Kolmogoroff-Petrovsky-Piscounoff type. We investigate the effect of the interaction between the nonlinear diffusion coefficient and the reaction term on the existence and…
The partial differential equation of Gaussian diffusion is generalized by using the time-fractional derivative of distributed order between 0 and 1, in both the Riemann-Liouville (R-L) and the Caputo (C) sense. For a general distribution of…
In this work we deal with the local in time propagation of chaos without cut-off for some two dimensional fractional Keller Segel equations. More precisely the diffusion considered here is given by the fractional Laplacian operator…
In this paper, some properties of the minimal speeds of pulsating Fisher-KPP fronts in periodic environments are established. The limit of the speeds at the homogenization limit is proved rigorously. Near this limit, generically, the fronts…
We investigate the propagation of chemical fronts arising in Fisher--Kolmogorov--Petrovskii--Piskunov (FKPP) type models in the presence of a steady cellular flow. In the long-time limit, a steadily propagating pulsating front is…
The fractional reaction diffusion equation u_t + Au = g(u) is discussed, where A is a fractional differential operator on the real line with order \alpha between 0 and 2, the C^1 function g vanishes at 0 and 1, and either g is non-negative…
The large time behavior of nonnegative solutions to the reaction-diffusion equation $\partial_t u=-(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}u - u^p,$ $(\alpha\in(0,2], p>1)$ posed on $\mathbb{R}^N$ and supplemented with an integrable initial condition is…
We consider a periodic reaction diffusion system which, because of competition between $u$ and $v$, does not enjoy the comparison principle. It also takes into account mutations, allowing $u$ to switch to $v$ and vice versa. Such a system…
We study nonlinear stability of pulled fronts in scalar parabolic equations on the real line of arbitrary order, under conceptual assumptions on existence and spectral stability of fronts. In this general setting, we establish sharp…
We show that long time solution dynamic for general reaction-advection-diffusion equations with KPP reactions is virtually linear in the following sense. Its leading order depends on the non-linear reaction only through its linearization at…
We consider the evolution of a quantum particle hopping on a cubic lattice in any dimension and subject to a potential consisting of a periodic part and a random part that fluctuates stochastically in time. If the random potential evolves…
In this paper, a fractional generalization of the wave equation that describes propagation of damped waves is considered. In contrast to the fractional diffusion-wave equation, the fractional wave equation contains fractional derivatives of…
We prove the existence of reaction-diffusion traveling fronts in mean zero space-time periodic shear flows for nonnegative reactions including the classical KPP (Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov) nonlinearity. For the KPP nonlinearity, the…
