We consider Fisher-KPP equation with advection: $u_t=u_{xx}-\beta u_x+f(u)$ for $x\in (g(t),h(t))$, where $g(t)$ and $h(t)$ are two free boundaries satisfying Stefan conditions. This equation is used to describe the population dynamics in…

We examine travelling wave solutions of the Porous-Fisher model, $\partial_t u(x,t)= u(x,t)\left[1-u(x,t)\right] + \partial_x \left[u(x,t) \partial_x u(x,t)\right]$, with a Stefan-like condition at the moving front, $x=L(t)$. Travelling…

We study traveling waves of the KPP equation in the half-space with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We show that minimal-speed waves are unique up to translation and rotation but faster waves are not. We represent our waves as Laplace…
