Analysis of the speed of propagation in parabolic operators is frequently carried out considering the minimal speed at which its traveling waves move. This value depends on the solution concept being considered. We analyze an extensive…
We consider a system of reaction-diffusion equations with passive advection term and Lewis number not equal to one. Such systems are used to describe chemical reactions in a flow in a situation where temperature and material diffusivities…
We study the reaction-diffusion system, its stationary solutions, the behavior of the system near them and discuss similarities and differences for different boundary conditions.
This paper is chiefly concerned with qualitative properties of some reaction-diffusion fronts. The recently defined notions of transition fronts generalize the standard notions of traveling fronts. In this paper, we show the existence and…

We illustrate and emphasize the relevance of hyperbolic theories of dissipation in different physical scenarios. Particular attention is paid to self-gravitating systems where the relaxation time may become large enough as to require a…
This paper is devoted to reaction-diffusion equations with bistable nonlinearities depending periodically on time. These equations admit two linearly stable states. However, the reaction terms may not be bistable at every time. These may…
This work is dedicated to the analysis of the delicate details of the effect of upstream velocity fluctuations on the flame propagation speed. The investigation was carried out using the Sivashinsky model of cellularisation of…
We address the propagation into an unstable state of a localised disturbance in a forward-backward diffusion pseudo-parabolic equation. Three asymptotic regimes are distinguished as t tends to infinity, the first being a regime ahead of the…
The position of a reaction front, propagating into a metastable state, fluctuates because of the shot noise of reactions and diffusion. A recent theory [B. Meerson, P.V. Sasorov, and Y. Kaplan, Phys. Rev. E 84, 011147 (2011)] gave a closed…
In this paper, we shall establish the spreading speed and existence of traveling waves for a non-cooperative system arising from epidermal wound healing and characterize the spreading speed as the slowest speed of a family of non-constant…
The problem of front propagation in a stirred medium is addressed in the case of cellular flows in three different regimes: slow reaction, fast reaction and geometrical optics limit. It is well known that a consequence of stirring is the…
We have studied the dispersive behaviour of imbibition fronts in a porous medium by X-ray tomography. Injection velocities were varied and the porous medium was initially prewetted or not. At low velocity in the prewetted medium, the…
We present an analytical theory for impact ionization fronts in reversely biased p^{+}-n-n^{+} structures. The front propagates into a depleted n base with a velocity that exceeds the saturated drift velocity. The front passage generates a…
Understanding the dynamics of wildfire is crucial for developing management and intervention strategies. Mathematical and computational models can be used to improve our understanding of wildfire processes and dynamics. This paper presents…
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…
We study the propagation of uniformly translating fronts into a linearly unstable state, both analytically and numerically. We introduce a perturbative renormalization group (RG) approach to compute the change in the propagation speed when…
In this paper, we generalize the usual notions of waves, fronts and propagation speeds in a very general setting. These new notions, which cover all classical situations, involve uniform limits, with respect to the geodesic distance, to a…
