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…
An analysis of traveling wave solutions of partial differential equation (PDE) systems with cross-diffusion is presented. The systems under study fall in a general class of the classical Keller-Segel models to describe chemotaxis. The…
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…

We are revisiting the topic of travelling fronts for the food-limited (FL) model with spatio-temporal nonlocal reaction. These solutions are crucial for understanding the whole model dynamics. Firstly, we prove the existence of monotone…
We devote this paper to the issue of existence of pulsating travelling front solutions for spatially periodic heterogeneous reaction-diffusion equations in arbitrary dimension, in both bistable and more general multistable frameworks. In…
We study reaction-diffusion equations in one spatial dimension and with general (space- or time-) inhomogeneous mixed bistable-ignition reactions. For those satisfying a simple quantitative hypothesis, we prove existence and uniqueness of…
We investigate the stability of traveling front solutions to nonlinear diffusive-dispersive equations of Burgers type, with a primary focus on the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (KdVB) equation, although our analytical findings extend more…
We study the asymptotic speed of traveling fronts of the scalar reaction diffusion for positive reaction terms and with a diffusion coefficient depending nonlinearly on the concentration and on its gradient. We restrict our study to…
We analyze a mean-field game model proposed by economists R.E. Lucas and B. Moll (2014) to describe economic systems where production is based on knowledge growth and diffusion. This model reduces to a PDE system where a backward…
Variation in genotypes may be responsible for differences in dispersal rates, directional biases, and growth rates of individuals. These traits may favor certain genotypes and enhance their spatio-temporal spreading into areas occupied by…
This paper is concerned with curved fronts of combustion reaction-diffusion equations in spatially periodic media in $\mathbb{R}^N$ $(N\geq2)$. Under the assumption that there are moving pulsating fronts for any given propagation direction…
In this work, we propose an asymptotic preserving scheme for a non-linear kinetic reaction-transport equation, in the regime of sharp interface. With a non-linear reaction term of KPP-type, a phenomenon of front propagation has been proved…
This paper investigates the dynamics of a reaction-diffusion system with two free boundaries, modeling the invasion of two cooperative species, where the free boundaries represent expanding fronts. We first analyze the long-term behavior of…
We treat a model of population dynamics in a periodic environment presenting a fast diffusion line. This phenomenon is modelled via a "road-field" system, which is a system of coupled reaction-diffusion equations set in domains of different…
