We study front propagation in the reversible reaction-diffusion system A + A <-> A on a 1-d lattice. Extending the idea of leading particle in studying the motion of the front we write a master equation in the stochastically moving frame…
We study the speed of propagation of fronts for the scalar reaction-diffusion equation $u_t = u_{xx} + f(u)$\, with $f(0) = f(1) = 0$. We give a new integral variational principle for the speed of the fronts joining the state $u=1$ to…
