Fronts that start from a local perturbation and propagate into a linearly unstable state come in two classes: pulled and pushed. ``Pulled'' fronts are ``pulled along'' by the spreading of linear perturbations about the unstable state, so…

We give an integral variational characterization for the speed of fronts of the nonlinear diffusion equation $u_t = u_{xx} + f(u)$ with $f(0)=f(1)=0$, and $f>0$ in $(0,1)$, which permits, in principle, the calculation of the exact speed for…
