We consider a scalar parabolic equation in one spatial dimension. The equation is constituted by a convective term, a reaction term with one or two equilibria, and a positive diffusivity which can however vanish. We prove the existence and…
The steady state propagation of a phase transition front is classified, according to hydrodynamics, as a deflagration or a detonation, depending on its velocity with respect to the fluid. These propagation modes are further divided into…
We consider a kinetic model for a system of two species of particles interacting through a longrange repulsive potential and a reservoir at given temperature. The model is described by a set of two coupled Vlasov-Fokker-Plank equations. The…
In this paper, we study the large time behaviour of solutions of multistable reaction-diffusion equations in $\mathbb{R}^N$, with a spatially periodic heterogeneity. By multistable, we mean that the problem admits a finite -- but…

In this paper, we analyse propagating fronts in the context of hyperbolic theories of dissipative processes. These can be considered as a natural alternative to the more classical parabolic models. Emphasis is given toward the numerical…
This paper is devoted to the study of travelling fronts of reaction-diffusion equations with periodic advection in the whole plane $\mathbb R^2$. We are interested in curved fronts satisfying some "conical" conditions at infinity. We prove…
For scalar reaction-diffusion equations, a traveling wave is a front which transforms a higher energy state to a lower energy state. The same is true for a system of equations with a gradient structure. At the core of this phenomenon, the…
The current paper is devoted to the study of existence and non-existence of transition fronts for two species competition lattice system in random media, and explore the influence of randomness of the media on the wave profiles and wave…
We consider reaction-diffusion equations of KPP type in a presence of a line of fast diffusion with non-local exchange terms between the line and the framework. Our study deals with the infimum of the spreading speed depending on the…
We study the transient dynamics of single species reaction diffusion systems whose reaction terms $f(u)$ vary nonlinearly near $u\approx 0$, specifically as $f(u)\approx u^{2}$ and $f(u)\approx u^{3}$. We consider three cases, calculate…
