We investigate the super-linear spreading in a reaction-diffusion model analogous to the Fisher-KPP equation, but in which the population is heterogeneous with respect to the dispersal ability of individuals, and the saturation factor is…
We determine the asymptotic spreading speed of an invasive species, which invades the territory of a native competitor, governed by a diffusive competition model with a free boundary in a spherically symmetric setting. This free boundary…
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 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…

Stationary solutions to the equations of non-linear diffusive shock acceleration play a fundamental role in the theory of cosmic-ray acceleration. Their existence usually requires that a fraction of the accelerated particles be allowed to…
