We focus on the spreading properties of solutions of monostable equations with non-linear diffusion. We consider both the porous medium diffusion and the fast diffusion regimes. Initial data may have heavy tails, which tends to accelerate…

We focus on the spreading properties of solutions of monostable equations with fast diffusion. The nonlinear reaction term involves a weak Allee effect, which tends to slow down the propagation. We complete the picture of [3] by studying…

This paper is devoted to studying propagation phenomena in integro-differential equations with a weakly degenerate non-linearity. The reaction term can be seen as an intermediate between the classical logistic (or Fisher-KPP) non-linearity…

In this paper, we study the influence of an Allee effect on the spreading rate in a local reaction-diffusion-mutation equation modelling the invasion of cane toads in Australia. We are, in particular, concerned with the case when the…

We consider the accelerated propagation of solutions to equations with a nonlocal linear dispersion on the real line and monostable nonlinearities (both local or nonlocal, however, not degenerated at $0$), in the case when either of the…

We study an acceleration phenomenon arising in monostable integro-differential equations with a weak Allee effect. Previous works have shown its occurrence and have given correct upper bounds on the rate of expansion in some particular…

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…

Reaction-diffusion equations appear in biology and chemistry, and combine linear diffusion with different kind of reaction terms. Some of them are remarkable from the mathematical point of view, since they admit families of travelling waves…

We investigate the relaxation of long-tailed distributions under stochastic dynamics that do not support such tails. Linear relaxation is found to be a borderline case in which long tails are exponentially suppressed in time but not…

In this paper, we study a simple one-dimensional model of reaction-diffusion with bistable non-linearity and in heterogeneous media. The bistable term accounts for the so-called Allee effect, and the heterogeneity in the media is localized.…

When a particle moves through a spatially-random force field, its momentum may change at a rate which grows with its speed. Suppose moreover that a thermal bath provides friction which gets weaker for large speeds, enabling high-energy…

Collisionless and weakly collisional plasmas often exhibit non-thermal quasi-equilibria. Among these quasi-equilibria, distributions with power-law tails are ubiquitous. It is shown that the statistical-mechanical approach originally…

We propose a stochastic logistic model with mate limitation and stochastic immigration. Incorporating stochastic immigration into a continuous time Markov chain model, we derive and analyze the associated master equation. By a standard…

Risk assessment for rare events is essential for understanding systemic stability in complex systems. As rare events are typically highly correlated, it is important to study heavy-tailed multivariate distributions of the relevant…
