We prove local existence for classical solutions of a free boundary problem which arises in one of the biological selection models proposed by Brunet and Derrida, [3]. The problem we consider describes the limit evolution of branching…
Motivated by a nonlocal free boundary problem, we study uniform properties of solutions to a singular perturbation problem for a boundary-reaction-diffusion equation, where the reaction term is of combustion type. This boundary problem is…
The goal of this work is to explain an unexpected feature of the expanding level sets of the solutions of a system where a half plane, in which reaction-diusion phenomena take place, exchanges mass with a line having a large diusion of its…
A reaction-diffusion-advection model is proposed and investigated to understand the invasive dynamics of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The free boundary is introduced to model the expanding front of the invasive mosquitoes in a heterogenous…
We investigate spreading properties of solutions of a large class of two-component reaction-diffusion systems, including prey-predator systems as a special case. By spreading properties we mean the long time behaviour of solution fronts…

In this paper, we study a simplified version of a West Nile virus model discussed by Lewis et al. [28], which was considered as a first approximation for the spatial spread of WNv. The basic reproduction number $R_0$ for the non-spatial…
We introduce and analyze a nonlocal version of the one-phase Stefan problem in which, as in the classical model, the rate of growth of the volume of the liquid phase is proportional to the rate at which energy is lost through the…
The survival chance of a prey chased by a predator depends not only on their relative speeds but importantly also on the local environment they have to face. For example, a wolf chasing a deer might take a long time to cross a river which…
The fast-reaction limit for reaction--diffusion systems modelling predator--prey interactions is investigated. In the considered model, predators exist in two possible states, namely searching and handling. The switching rate between these…
This manuscript considers a Neumann initial-boundary value problem for the predator-prey system $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} u_t = D_1 u_{xx} - \chi_1 (uv_x)_x + u(\lambda_1-u+a_1 v), \\[1mm] v_t = D_2 v_{xx} + \chi_2 (vu_x)_x +…
A diffusive predator-prey system with predator interference and Neumann boundary conditions is considered in this paper. We derive some results on the existence and nonexistence of nonconstant stationary solutions. It is shown that there…
We introduce and study a class of free boundary models with "nonlocal diffusion", which are natural extensions of the free boundary models in Du and Lin [17] and elsewhere, where "local diffusion" is used to describe the population…
We study a singular diffusive prey-predator system with nonlocal dispersal for which the carrying capacity of the predator is proportional to the density of prey. We show the existence of positive one-dimensional traveling waves connecting…
We study transmission problems with free interfaces from one random medium to another. Solutions are required to solve distinct partial differential equations, $\mbox{L}_{+}$ and $\mbox{L}_{-}$, within their positive and negative sets…
In this paper, we examine the long-time dynamics of an epidemic model whose diffusion and reaction terms involve nonlocal effects described by suitable convolution operators.The spreading front of the disease is represented by the free…
This paper concerns the effect of the (separated/connected) protection zone for the evolution of an endangered species on the reaction-diffusion equation with strong Allee effect and free boundary. We give a description of the long-time…
