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 deal with heteroclinic planar fronts for parameter-dependent reaction-diffusion equations with bistable reaction and saturating diffusive term like $$ u_t=\epsilon \, \textrm{div}\, \left(\frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1+\vert \nabla u…
In this Letter we describe a novel class of dynamical excitations -- accelerating oscillatory fronts in a new genre of nonlinear sonic vacua with strongly non-local effects. Indeed, it is surprising that such models naturally arise in…
We consider a reactive Boussinesq system with no stress boundary conditions in a periodic domain which is unbounded in one direction. Specifically, we couple the reaction-advection-diffusion equation for the temperature, $T$, and the…
We study the minimal speed of propagating fronts of convection reaction diffusion equations of the form $u_t + \mu \phi(u) u_x = u_{xx} +f(u)$ for positive reaction terms with $f'(0 >0$. The function $\phi(u)$ is continuous and vanishes at…
We consider a Fisher-KPP-type equation, where both diffusion and nonlinear part are nonlocal, with anisotropic probability kernels. Under minimal conditions on the coefficients, we prove existence, uniqueness, and uniform space-time…
The famous Fisher-KPP reaction-diffusion model combines linear diffusion with the typical KPP reaction term, and appears in a number of relevant applications in biology and chemistry. It is remarkable as a mathematical model since it…
We consider the wave propagation for a reaction-diffusion equation on the real line, with a random drift and Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piscounov (FKPP) type nonlinear reaction. We show that when the average drift is positive, the…
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…
We consider travelling wave solutions of the reaction diffusion equation with quintic nonlinearities $u_t = u_{xx} + \mu u (1 -u ) ( 1 +\alpha u + \beta u^2 +\gamma u^3)$. If the parameters $\alpha , \beta$ and $\gamma$ obey a special…
The current paper is devoted to the study of semilinear dispersal evolution equations of the form $$ u_t(t,x)=(\mathcal{A}u)(t,x)+u(t,x)f(t,x,u(t,x)),\quad x\in\mathcal{H}, $$ where $\mathcal{H}=\RR^N$ or $\ZZ^N$, $\mathcal{A}$ is a random…
We propose here a new model of accelerating fronts, consisting of one equation with non-local diffusion on a line, coupled via the boundary condition with a reaction-diffusion equation in the upper half-plane. The underlying biological…
We describe acceleration of the front propagation for solutions to a class of monostable nonlinear equations with a nonlocal diffusion in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq1$. We show that the acceleration takes place if either the diffusion kernel or…
We study a nonlinear diffusion equation of the form $u_t=u_{xx}+f(u)\ (x\in [g(t),h(t)])$ with free boundary conditions $g'(t)=-u_x(t,g(t))+\alpha$ and $h'(t)=-u_x(t,g(t))-\alpha$ for some $\alpha>0$. Such problems may be used to describe…
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…
We consider a bistable reaction-diffusion equation $u_t=\Delta u +f(u)$ on $\mathbb{R}^N$ in the presence of an obstacle $K$, which is a wall of infinite span with many holes. More precisely, $K$ is a closed subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$ with…
We consider a nonlocal semi-linear parabolic equation on a connected exterior domain of the form $\mathbb{R}^N\setminus K$, where $K\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is a compact "obstacle". The model we study is motivated by applications in biology and…
We study reaction-diffusion systems where diffusion is by jumps whose sizes are distributed exponentially. We first study the Fisher-like problem of propagation of a front into an unstable state, as typified by the A+B $\to$ 2A reaction. We…
In this paper, we consider the phenomenon of monostable pulsating fronts for multi-dimensional reaction-diffusion-advection systems in periodic media. Recent results have addressed the existence of pulsating fronts and the linear…
In Cao, Du, Li and Li [8], a nonlocal diffusion model with free boundaries extending the local diffusion model of Du and Lin [12] was introduced and studied. For Fisher-KPP type nonlinearities, its long-time dynamical behaviour is shown to…
