We consider reaction-diffusion equations of the form \begin{equation*} u_t - d u_{xx} = f(t,u), \quad t>0,\ \ x \in [g(t), h(t)], \end{equation*} where $f(t,u)$ is periodic in $t$ and monostable in $u$, and the interval $[g(t), h(t)]$…

This paper is devoted to reaction-diffusion equations with bistable nonlinearities depending periodically on time. These equations admit two linearly stable states. However, the reaction terms may not be bistable at every time. These may…
We study reaction-diffusion equations of various types in the half-space. For bistable reactions with Dirichlet boundary conditions, we prove conditional uniqueness: there is a unique nonzero bounded steady state which exceeds the bistable…
