In this paper we use the theory of viscosity solutions for Hamilton-Jacobi equations to study propagation phenomena in kinetic equations. We perform the hydrodynamic limit of some kinetic models thanks to an adapted WKB ansatz. Our models…

In this paper, we extend and complement previous works about propagation in kinetic reaction-transport equations. The model we study describes particles moving according to a velocity-jump process, and proliferating according to a reaction…

We investigate front propagation in a reacting particle system in which particles perform scale-free random walks known as Levy flights. The system is described by a fractional generalization of a reaction-diffusion equation. We focus on…

Continuous-time random walks combining diffusive scattering and ballistic propagation on lattices model a class of L\'evy walks. The assumption that transitions in the scattering phase occur with exponentially-distributed waiting times…

The purpose of this paper is to implement a random death process into a persistent random walk model which produces subballistic superdiffusion (L\'{e}vy walk). We develop a Markovian model of cell motility with the extra residence variable…

Nonlinear and nonlinear evolution equations of the form $u_t=\L u \pm|\nabla u|^q$, where $\L$ is a pseudodifferential operator representing the infinitesimal generator of a L\'evy stochastic process, have been derived as models for growing…

We study the dispersion of a particle whose motion dynamics can be described by a forced velocity jump process. To investigate large deviations results, we study the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation of this process in the hyperbolic scaling…

Subdiffusive motion takes place at a much slower timescale than diffusive motion. As a preliminary step to studying reaction-subdiffusion pulled fronts, we consider here the hyperbolic limit $(t,x) \to (t/\varepsilon, x/\varepsilon)$ of an…

The random walk process in a nonhomogeneous medium, characterised by a L\'evy stable distribution of jump length, is discussed. The width depends on a position: either before the jump or after that. In the latter case, the density slope is…
