This paper is a continuation of [2] where a new model of biological invasions in the plane directed by a line was introduced. Here we include new features such as transport and reaction terms on the line. Their interaction with the pure…

Single-species reaction-diffusion equations, such as the Fisher-KPP and Porous-Fisher equations, support travelling wave solutions that are often interpreted as simple mathematical models of biological invasion. Such travelling wave…

We rigorously prove the existence of traveling fronts in neural field models with lateral inhibition coupling types and smooth sigmoidal firing rates. With Heaviside firing rates as our base point (where unique traveling fronts exist), we…

We consider a coupled reaction-advection-diffusion system based on the Fisher-KPP and Burgers equations. These equations serve as a one-dimensional version of a model for a reacting fluid in which the arising density differences induce a…

In this paper we study the following one-dimensional reaction-diffusion problem $$ u_t+(-\Delta)^s u=f(x-c t, u) \;\:\textrm{ in } \mathbb{R}\times (0,+\infty), $$ where $s>\frac{1}{2}$, $c \in \mathbb{R}$ is a prescribed velocity, and $f$…

We consider Fisher-KPP-type reaction-diffusion equations with spatially inhomogeneous reaction rates. We show that a sufficiently strong localized inhomogeneity may prevent existence of transition-front-type global in time solutions while…

We obtain a criterion for pulsating front speed-up by general periodic incompressible flows in two dimensions and in the presence of KPP nonlinearities. We achieve this by showing that the ratio of the minimal front speed and the effective…
