We study the propagation properties of nonnegative and bounded solutions of the class of reaction-diffusion equations with nonlinear fractional diffusion: $u_{t} + (-\Delta)^s (u^m)=f(u)$. For all $0<s<1$ and $m> m_c=(N-2s)_+/N $, we…

We investigate in this paper propagation phenomena for the heterogeneous reaction-diffusion equation $\partial_t u -\Delta u = f(t,u)$, $x\in R^N$, $t\in\R$, where f=f(t,u) is a KPP monostable nonlinearity which depends in a general way on…
