This paper concerns the semi-wavefronts (i.e. bounded solutions $u=\phi(x \nu +ct) >0,$ $ |\nu|=1, $ satisfying $\phi(-\infty)=0$) to the delayed KPP-Fisher equation $$u_t(t,x) = \Delta u(t,x) + u(t,x)(1-u(t-\tau,x)), \ u \geq 0,\ x \in…
We consider the solution $u(x,t)$ of the Fisher-KPP equation $\partial_t u=\partial_x^2u+u-u^2$ centred around its $\alpha$-level $\mu_t^{(\alpha)}$ defined as $u(\mu_t^{(\alpha)},t)=\alpha$. It is well known that for an initial datum that…
We prove that the well-known 3/2 stability condition established for the Wright equation (WE) still holds if the nonlinearity $p(\exp(-x)-1)$ in WE is replaced by a decreasing or unimodal smooth function f with $f'(0)<0$ satisfying the…
We consider a family of scalar delay differential equations $x'(t)=f(t,x_t)$, with a nonlinearity $f$ satisfying a negative feedback condition combined with a boundedness condition. We present a global stability criterion for this family,…
We study the one-dimensional Fisher-KPP equation, with an initial condition $u_0(x)$ that coincides with the step function except on a compact set. A well-known result of M. Bramson states that, as $t\to+\infty$, the solution converges to a…
We consider the one-dimensional Fisher-KPP equation with step-like initial data. Nolen, Roquejoffre, and Ryzhik showed that the solution $u$ converges at long time to a traveling wave $\phi$ at a position $\tilde \sigma(t) = 2t - (3/2)\log…
We extend the class of initial conditions for scalar delayed reaction-diffusion equations $u_t (t,x)=u_{xx}(t,x)+f(u(t, x), u(t-h, x))$ which evolve in solutions converging to monostable traveling waves. Our approach allows to compute, in…
In this paper, we answer the question about the criteria of existence of monotone travelling fronts $u = \phi(\nu \cdot x+ct), \phi(-\infty) =0, \phi(+\infty) = \kappa,$ for the monostable (and, in general, non-quasi-monotone) delayed…
The solution h to the Fisher-KPP equation with a steep enough initial condition develops into a front moving at velocity 2, with logarithmic corrections to its position. In this paper we investigate the value h(c t, t) of the solution ahead…
We consider the nonlocal KPP-Fisher equation $u_t(t,x) = u_{xx}(t,x) + u(t,x)(1-(K *u)(t,x))$ which describes the evolution of population density $u(t,x)$ with respect to time $t$ and location $x$. The non-locality is expressed in terms of…
We consider reaction-diffusion equations of KPP type in one spatial dimension, perturbed by a Fisher-Wright white noise, under the assumption of uniqueness in distribution. Examples include the randomly perturbed Fisher-KPP equations $…
In the current series of two papers, we study the long time behavior of the following random Fisher-KPP equation $$ u_t =u_{xx}+a(\theta_t\omega)u(1-u),\quad x\in\R, \eqno(1) $$ where $\omega\in\Omega$, $(\Omega, \mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$ is…
In this note, I show that it is possible to use elementary mathematics, instead of the machinery of Lambert function, Laplace Transform, or numerics, to derive the instability condition, $k \tau = \pi/2$, and the critical damping condition,…
We give an iterative method to estimate the disturbance of semi-wavefronts of the equation: $\dot{u}(t,x) = u''(t,x) +u(t,x)(1-u(t-h,x)),$ $x \in \mathbb{R},\ t >0;$ where $h>0.$ As a consequence, we show the exponential stability, with an…
We study the existence of traveling waves of reaction-diffusion systems with delays in both diffusion and reaction terms of the form $\partial u(x,t)/\partial t = \Delta u(x,t-\tau_1)+f(u(x,t),u(x,t-\tau_2))$, where $\tau_1,\tau_2$ are…
In the early 2000's, Gourley (2000), Wu et al. (2001), Ashwin et al. (2002) initiated the study of the positive wavefronts in the delayed Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov-Fisher equation. Since then, this model has become one of the most…
We study the large time behaviour of the Fisher-KPP equation $\partial$ t u = $\Delta$u + u -- u 2 in spatial dimension N , when the initial datum is compactly supported. We prove the existence of a Lipschitz function s of the unit sphere,…
We give a probabilistic proof of relative Fatou's theorem for $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$-harmonic functions (equivalently for symmetric $\alpha$-stable processes) in bounded $\kappa$-fat open set where $\alpha \in (0,2)$. That is, if $u$ is…
We prove the existence of a continuous family of positive and generally non-monotone travelling fronts in delayed reaction-diffusion equations $u_t(t,x) = \Delta u(t,x)- u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)) (*)$, when $g \in C^2(R_+,R_+)$ has exactly two…
This paper studies forced waves for the heterogeneous Fisher-KPP equation $u_t = u_{xx} + u(a(x-ct)-u)$, where $c>0$ and $a(z)>0$ satisfies $a(-\infty)=\alpha>0=a(+\infty)$, $a'(z)\le0$ ($z\gg1$). Using ODE asymptotic analysis, we classify…
