We consider the solution to the scalar Fisher-KPP equation with front-like initial data, focusing on the location of its level sets at large times, particularly their deviation from points moving at the known spreading speed. We consider an…
The propagation of a beneficial mutation in a spatially extended population is usually studied using the phenomenological stochastic Fisher-Kolmogorov (SFKPP) equation. We derive here an individual based, stochastic model founded on the…
The propagation of unstable interfaces is at the origin of remarkable patterns that are observed in various areas of science as chemical reactions, phase transitions, growth of bacterial colonies. Since a scalar equation generates usually…
We consider reaction-diffusion equations of KPP type in one spatial dimension, perturbed by a Fisher-Wright white noise, under the assumption of uniqueness in distribution. Examples include the randomly perturbed Fisher-KPP equations $…

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…
The nonlocal Fisher equation is a diffusion-reaction equation with a nonlocal quadratic competition, which describes the reaction between distant individuals. This equation arises in evolutionary biological systems, where the arena for the…
We consider in this paper a reaction-diffusion system in presence of a flow and under a KPP hypothesis. While the case of a single-equation has been extensively studied since the pioneering Kolmogorov-Petrovski-Piskunov paper, the study of…
We establish spreading properties of the Lotka-Volterra competition-diffusion system. When the initial data vanish on a right half-line, we derive the exact spreading speeds and prove the convergence to homogeneous equilibrium states…
The global boundedness and the hair trigger effect of solutions for the nonlinear nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation \begin{align*} u_t=\Delta u+\mu u^\alpha(1-\kappa J*u^\beta),\quad\hbox{in} \;\mathbb R^N\times(0,\infty),\; N\geq 1…
Biological invasion, whereby populations of motile and proliferative individuals lead to moving fronts that invade into vacant regions, are routinely studied using partial differential equation (PDE) models based upon the classical…
In this paper, we consider a Fisher-KPP equation with an advection term and two free boundaries, which models the behavior of an invasive species in one dimension space. When spreading happens (that is, the solution converges to a positive…
The notion of traveling wave, which typically refers to some particular spatio-temporal con- nections between two stationary states (typically, entire solutions keeping the same profile's shape through time), is essential in the…
In this article, we report on the curious phenomena of anomalous spreading in a system of coupled Fisher-KPP equations. When a single parameter is set to zero, the system consists of two uncoupled Fisher-KPP equations which give rise to…
In this paper, we investigated a density-dependent reaction-diffusion equation, $u_t = (u^{m})_{xx} + u - u^{m}$. This equation is known as the extension of the Fisher or Kolmogoroff-Petrovsky-Piscounoff equation which is widely used in the…
We consider Kolmogorov--Petrovskii--Piscounov (KPP) type models in the presence of a discontinuous cut-off in reaction rate at concentration $u=u_c$. In Part I we examine permanent form travelling wave solutions (a companion paper, Part II,…
