In this article, we consider a class of bi-stable reaction-diffusion equations in two components on the real line. We assume that the system is singularly perturbed, i.e. that the ratio of the diffusion coefficients is (asymptotically)…
This paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the delayed monostable equation: $(*)$ $u_{t}(t,x) = u_{xx}(t,x) - u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)),$ $x \in \mathbb{R},\ t >0,$ where $h>0$ and the reaction term $g: \mathbb{R}_+ \to…

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…
