We prove the existence of a continuous family of positive and generally non-monotone travelling fronts in delayed reaction-diffusion equations $u_t(t,x) = \Delta u(t,x)- u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)) (*)$, when $g \in C^2(R_+,R_+)$ has exactly two…

We consider the damped wave equation \alpha u_tt + u_t = u_xx - V'(u) on the whole real line, where V is a bistable potential. This equation has travelling front solutions of the form u(x,t) = h(x-st) which describe a moving interface…
In this paper we are interested in propagation phenomena for nonlocal reaction-diffusion equations of the type: $\delta_tu = J \times u - u + f (x, u) t \in R^+, x \in R^N$, where J is a probability density and f is a KPP nonlinearity…

This article is devoted to define and solve an evolution equation of the form $dy_t=\Delta y_t dt+ dX_t(y_t)$, where $\Delta$ stands for the Laplace operator on a space of the form $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$, and $X$ is a finite dimensional noisy…
Nonlinear waves are a robust phenomenon observed in complex systems ranging from mechanics to ecology. Fronts are fundamental due to their robustness against perturbations and capacity to propagate one state over another. Controlling and…

The intermittent route to spatio-temporal complexity is analyzed in a simple model which displays a subcritical bifurcation without hysteresis. A new type of spatio-temporal complexity is found, induced by fronts which "convectively clean"…
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…
