In this paper, we study the spreading speeds and traveling wave solutions of the PDE $$ \begin{cases} u_{t}= \Delta u-\chi \nabla \cdot (u \nabla v) + u(1-u),\ \ x\in\mathbb{R}^N 0=\Delta v-v+u, \ \ x\in\mathbb{R}^N, \end{cases} $$ where…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the delayed monostable equation $(*)$: $u_{t}(t,x) = u_{xx}(t,x) - u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)),$ $x \in R,\ t >0,$ with monotone reaction term $g: R_+ \to R_+$. Our basic assumption is that this…

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…
We treat a model of population dynamics in a periodic environment presenting a fast diffusion line. This phenomenon is modelled via a "road-field" system, which is a system of coupled reaction-diffusion equations set in domains of different…
We study the transient dynamics of single species reaction diffusion systems whose reaction terms $f(u)$ vary nonlinearly near $u\approx 0$, specifically as $f(u)\approx u^{2}$ and $f(u)\approx u^{3}$. We consider three cases, calculate…
In many biological situations, a species arriving from a remote source diffuses in a domain confined between two parallel surfaces until it finds a binding partner. Since such a geometric shape falls in between two- and three-dimensional…
We study the minimal speed of propagating fronts of convection reaction diffusion equations of the form $u_t + \mu \phi(u) u_x = u_{xx} +f(u)$ for positive reaction terms with $f'(0 >0$. The function $\phi(u)$ is continuous and vanishes at…
We will look at reaction-diffusion type equations of the following type, $$\partial^\beta_tV(t,x)=-(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2} V(t,x)+I^{1-\beta}_t[V(t,x)^{1+\eta}].$$ We first study the equation on the whole space by making sense of it via an…
