We consider the road-field reaction-diffusion model introduced by Berestycki, Roquejoffre, and Rossi. By performing a "thin-front limit," we are able to deduce a Hamilton-Jacobi equation with a suitable effective Hamiltonian on the road…
In this paper, the one-dimensional time-fractional diffusion-wave equation with the fractional derivative of order $1 \le \alpha \le 2$ is revisited. This equation interpolates between the diffusion and the wave equations that behave quite…
The empirical velocity of a reaction-diffusion front, propagating into an unstable state, fluctuates because of the shot noises of the reactions and diffusion. Under certain conditions these fluctuations can be described as a diffusion…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of positive solutions of the Cauchy problem for the fast diffusion equation near the extinction time. We find a continuum of rates of convergence to a self-similar profile. These rates depend explicitly on…
Diffusion within porous media, such as biological tissues, exhibits departures from conventional Fick's laws, which could result in space-fractional diffusion. The paper considers a reaction-diffusion system with two spatial compartments --…
