A family of travelling wave solutions to the Fisher-KPP equation with speeds $c=\pm 5/\sqrt{6}$ can be expressed exactly using Weierstrass elliptic functions. The well-known solution for $c=5/\sqrt{6}$, which decays to zero in the…

This paper is concerned with the spatially periodic Fisher-KPP equation $u_t=(d(x)u_x)_x+(r(x)-u)u$, $x\in \mathbb{R}$, where $d(x)$ and $r(x)$ are periodic functions with period $L>0$. We assume that $r(x)$ has positive mean and $d(x)>0$.…
