We show that a signal can propagate in a particular direction through a model random medium regardless of the precise state of the medium. As a prototype, we consider a point particle moving on a one-dimensional lattice whose sites are…

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 model the expansion of an interacting atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in a disordered lattice with a nonlinear diffusion equation normally used for a variety of classical systems. We find approximate solutions of the diffusion equation…

Propagation of solitary waves in the presence of autocatalysis, diffusion, and symmetry breaking (differential) advection, is being studied. The focus is on drifting (propagating with advection) pulses that form via a convective instability…

We consider a multidimensional monostable reaction-diffusion equation whose nonlinearity involves periodic heterogeneity. This serves as a model of invasion for a population facing spatial heterogeneities. As a rescaling parameter tends to…

Reactive Rayleigh-Taylor systems are characterized by the competition between the growth of the instability and the rate of reaction between cold (heavy) and hot (light) phases. We present results from state-of-the-art numerical simulations…
