We consider the nonlocal KPP-Fisher equation $u_t(t,x) = u_{xx}(t,x) + u(t,x)(1-(K *u)(t,x))$ which describes the evolution of population density $u(t,x)$ with respect to time $t$ and location $x$. The non-locality is expressed in terms of…
The hexagonal structure is ubiquitous in nature. The propagation phenomena occurring in a media with a hexagonal structure remain to be explored. One way of exploring this question is to formulate lattice dynamical systems and analyze the…
Cell populations invade through a combination of proliferation and motility. Proliferation depends on the internal timing of cell division: how long cells take to complete the cell cycle. This timing varies substantially within (and across)…
We consider a nonlocal generalization of the Fisher-KPP equation in one spatial dimension. As a parameter is varied the system undergoes a Turing bifurcation. We study the dynamics near this Turing bifurcation. Our results are two-fold.…
The FKPP equation with a variable growth rate and advection by an incompressible velocity field is considered as a model for plankton dispersed by ocean currents. If the average growth rate is negative then the model has a…
We prove the existence of traveling fronts in diffusive Rosenzweig-MacArthur and Holling-Tanner population models and investigate their relation with fronts in a scalar Fisher-KPP equation. More precisely, we prove the existence of fronts…
We study the dynamics of the Fisher-KPP equation on the infinite homogeneous tree and Erd\H{o}s-R\'eyni random graphs. We assume initial data that is zero everywhere except at a single node. For the case of the homogeneous tree, the…
Real-world cellular invasion processes often take place in curved geometries. Such problems are frequently simplified in models to neglect the curved geometry in favour of computational simplicity, yet doing so risks inaccuracy in any…
We study in this note the Fisher-KPP equation where the Laplacian is replaced by the generator of a Feller semigroup with slowly decaying kernel, an important example being the fractional Laplacian. Contrary to what happens in the standard…
We consider the non-local Fisher-KPP equation modeling a population with individuals competing with each other for resources with a strength related to their distance, and obtain the asymptotics for the position of the invasion front…
Variation in genotypes may be responsible for differences in dispersal rates, directional biases, and growth rates of individuals. These traits may favor certain genotypes and enhance their spatio-temporal spreading into areas occupied by…
We consider a reaction-diffusion system of densities of two types of particles, introduced by Edouard Hannezo et al. in the context of branching morphogenesis. It is a simple model for a growth process: active, branching particles form the…
Continuum mathematical models for collective cell motion normally involve reaction-diffusion equations, such as the Fisher-KPP equation, with a linear diffusion term to describe cell motility and a logistic term to describe cell…
We consider a nonlocal analogue of the Fisher-KPP equation. We do not assume that the Borel-measure for the convolution is absolutely continuous. In order to show the main result, we modify a recursive method for abstract monotone discrete…
This paper studies forced waves for the heterogeneous Fisher-KPP equation $u_t = u_{xx} + u(a(x-ct)-u)$, where $c>0$ and $a(z)>0$ satisfies $a(-\infty)=\alpha>0=a(+\infty)$, $a'(z)\le0$ ($z\gg1$). Using ODE asymptotic analysis, we classify…
We show the relevance of the nonlinear Fisher and Kolmogorov-Petrovsky- Piscounov (KPP) equation to the problem of high energy evolution of the QCD amplitudes. We explain how the traveling wave solutions of this equation are related to…
We consider an epidemic model with distributed-contacts. When the contact kernel concentrates, one formally reaches a very degenerate Fisher-KPP equation with a diffusion term that is not in divergence form. We make an exhaustive study of…
This paper is concerned with non-cooperative parabolic reaction--diffusion systems which share structural similarities with the scalar Fisher--KPP equation. These similarities make it possible to prove, among other results, an extinction…
We analyze a mean-field game model proposed by economists R.E. Lucas and B. Moll (2014) to describe economic systems where production is based on knowledge growth and diffusion. This model reduces to a PDE system where a backward…
We consider a coupled reaction-advection-diffusion system based on the Fisher-KPP and Burgers equations. These equations serve as a one-dimensional version of a model for a reacting fluid in which the arising density differences induce a…
