The goal of this work is to explain an unexpected feature of the expanding level sets of the solutions of a system where a half plane, in which reaction-diusion phenomena take place, exchanges mass with a line having a large diusion of its…
We discuss a numerical method for convection-diffusion-reaction problems with a free boundary in 1D. The method is based on the numerical modelling of the interface evolution, the transformation to a fixed domain problem and the…
The system under study is a reaction-diffusion equation in a horizontal strip, coupled to a diffusion equation on its upper boundary via an exchange condition of the Robin type. This class of models was introduced by H. Berestycki, L. Rossi…

We consider a reaction-diffusion system where some components react and diffuse on the boundary of a region, while other components diffuse in the interior and react with those on the boundary through mass transport. We establish criteria…
We consider a reaction-diffusion system for two densities lying in adjacent domains of $\mathbb{R}^N$. We treat two configurations: either a cylinder and its complement, or two half-spaces. Diffusion and reaction heterogeneities for the two…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbb R^N$, where $N \ge 2$ and $\partial\Omega$ is not necessarily bounded. We consider nonlinear diffusion equations of the form $\partial_t u= \Delta \phi(u)$. Let $u=u(x,t)$ be the solution of either the…

We revise the encounter-based approach to imperfect diffusion-controlled reactions, which employs the statistics of encounters between a diffusing particle and the reactive region to implement surface reactions. We extend this approach to…
