Fronts that start from a local perturbation and propagate into a linearly unstable state come in two classes: pulled and pushed. ``Pulled'' fronts are ``pulled along'' by the spreading of linear perturbations about the unstable state, so…

We study numerically the evolution of one-dimensional FKPP fronts initiated from steep initial conditions in the presence of a quenched random growth rate. Compared to both the homogeneous case (with velocity $v_0$) and deterministic…

We formulate a new model for transport in stochastic media with long-range spatial correlations where exponential attenuation (controlling the propagation part of the transport) becomes power law. Direct transmission over optical distance…
