We argue that magnetic flux-conservation in turbulent plasmas at high magnetic Reynolds numbers neither holds in the conventional sense nor is entirely broken, but instead is valid in a novel statistical sense associated to the "spontaneous…
We extend the class of initial conditions for scalar delayed reaction-diffusion equations $u_t (t,x)=u_{xx}(t,x)+f(u(t, x), u(t-h, x))$ which evolve in solutions converging to monostable traveling waves. Our approach allows to compute, in…

We report experimental results for the behavior of slow-combustion fronts in the presence of a columnar defect with excess or reduced driving, and compare them with those of mean-field theory. We also compare them with simulation results…
We consider two related linear PDE's perturbed by a fractional Brownian motion. We allow the drift to be discontinuous, in which case the corresponding deterministic equation is ill-posed. However, the noise will be shown to have a…
The empirical velocity of a reaction-diffusion front, propagating into an unstable state, fluctuates because of the shot noises of the reactions and diffusion. Under certain conditions these fluctuations can be described as a diffusion…

In this paper, we investigate the location of the spreading front and convergence to traveling wave profile of solutions to the Fisher-KPP equation in the following two cases: (i) in unbounded domains with an expanding boundary; (ii) on the…
We study travelling fronts of equations of the form $u_{tt} + \phi(u) u_x = u_{xx} + f(u)$. A criterion for the transition from linear to nonlinear marginal stability is established for positive functions $\phi(u)$ and for any reaction term…
Existence, uniqueness and non-explosion of the mild solution are proved for a class of semi-linear functional SPDEs with multiplicative noise and Dini continuous drifts. In the finite-dimensional and bounded time delay setting, the…
Stochastic resets have lately emerged as a mechanism able to generate finite equilibrium mean square displacement (MSD) when they are applied to diffusive motion. Furthermore, walkers with an infinite mean first arrival time (MFAT) to a…

The goal of this paper is to find the homogenized equation of a heterogenous Fisher-KPP model in a periodic medium. The solutions of this model are pulsating travelling fronts whose \emph{speeds} are superior to a parametric minimal speed…
