We investigate in this paper propagation phenomena for the heterogeneous reaction-diffusion equation $\partial_t u -\Delta u = f(t,u)$, $x\in R^N$, $t\in\R$, where f=f(t,u) is a KPP monostable nonlinearity which depends in a general way on…
We propose here a new model to describe biological invasions in the plane when a strong diffusion takes place on a line. We establish the main properties of the system, and also derive the asymptotic speed of spreading in the direction of…
This paper is concerned with non-cooperative parabolic reaction--diffusion systems which share structural similarities with the scalar Fisher--KPP equation. These similarities make it possible to prove, among other results, an extinction…
We consider the effect of a shear flow which has, without loss of generality, a zero mean flow rate, on a Kolmogorov--Petrovskii--Piscounov (KPP) type model in the presence of a discontinuous cut-off at concentration $u = u_c$. Its…
We determine the asymptotic spreading speed of the solutions of a Fisher-KPP reaction-diffusion equation, starting from compactly supported initial data, when the diffusion coefficient is a fixed bounded monotone profile that is shifted at…
In this paper we consider a model for the diffusion of a population in a strip-shaped field, where the growth of the species is governed by a Fisher-KPP equation and which is bounded on one side by a road where the species can have a…
We devise a new geometric approach to study the propagation of disturbance - compactly supported data - in reaction diffusion equations. The method builds a bridge between the propagation of disturbance and of almost planar solutions. It…
In the current series of two papers, we study the long time behavior of the following random Fisher-KPP equation $$ u_t =u_{xx}+a(\theta_t\omega)u(1-u),\quad x\in\mathbb{R} $$ where $\omega\in\Omega$, $(\Omega, \mathcal{F},\mathbb{P})$ is a…
We study the radially symmetric high dimensional Fisher-KPP nonlocal diffusion equation with free boundary, and reveal some fundamental differences from its one dimensional version considered in \cite{cdjfa} recently. Technically, this high…
These notes are based on the lectures given in a mini-course at VIASM (Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics) 2025 Summer School. They give a brief account of the theory (with detailed proofs) for propagation governed by a…
In this paper, we prove the existence of the spreading speed of nonlocal KPP equations in two cases: 1. The media is almost periodic and the kernel of diffusion is continuous; 2. The media is periodic and the diffusion is not continuous but…
This paper concerns the spreading speed and asymptotical behaviors, which was left as an open problem in \cite{LLW22}, of a Fisher-KPP nonlocal diffusion model with a free boundary. Using a new lower solution, we get the exact finite…
Diffusion in a `rough' potential parameterized by a reaction coordinate $q$ is relevant to a wide spectrum of problems ranging from protein folding and charge transport in complex media to colloidal stabilization and self-assembly. This…
Spontaneous pattern formation in living systems is driven by reaction-diffusion chemistry and active mechanics. The feedback between chemical and mechanical forces is often essential to robust pattern formation, yet it remains poorly…
We consider a continuous random walk model for describing normal as well as anomalous diffusion of particles subjected to an external force when these particles diffuse in a uniformly expanding (or contracting) medium. A general equation…
We consider a generalization of the FKPP equation for the evolution of the spatial density of a single-species population where all the terms are nonlocal. That is, the spatial extension of each process (growth, competition and diffusion)…
