We consider a class of reaction-diffusion equations of Fisher-KPP type in which the nonlinearity (reaction term) $f$ is merely $C^1$ at $u=0$ due to a logarithmic competition term. We first derive the asymptotic behavior of (minimal speed)…

We study the one-dimensional Fisher-KPP equation, with an initial condition $u_0(x)$ that coincides with the step function except on a compact set. A well-known result of M. Bramson states that, as $t\to+\infty$, the solution converges to a…

We consider the solution $u(x,t)$ of the Fisher-KPP equation $\partial_t u=\partial_x^2u+u-u^2$ centred around its $\alpha$-level $\mu_t^{(\alpha)}$ defined as $u(\mu_t^{(\alpha)},t)=\alpha$. It is well known that for an initial datum that…

We establish the logarithmic Bramson correction to the position of solutions to the Fisher--KPP equation with nonlocal diffusion. Solutions with step-like initial data typically resemble a front at position $c_{*} t - \frac{3}{2…

The Fisher-KPP equation is a model for population dynamics that has generated a huge amount of interest since its introduction in 1937. The speed with which a population spreads has been computed quite precisely when the initial data decays…

We study a variant of the Fisher-KPP equation with nonlocal dispersal. Using the theory of large deviations, we show the emergence of a "Bramson-like" logarithmic delay for the linearised equation with step-like initial data. We conclude…

We study the asymptotic behaviour, as time goes to infinity, of the Fisher-KPP equation $\partial_t u=\Delta u +u-u^2$ in spatial dimension $2$, when the initial condition looks like a Heaviside function. Thus the solution is,…
