We consider positive travelling fronts of the time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation with the monostable birth function. Our main result says that for every fixed and sufficiently large velocity c, the positive travelling front is unique…

We study convective stability of a two-front superposition in a reaction-diffusion system. Due to the instability of the connecting equilibrium, long-range semi-strong interaction is expected between the two waves. When restricting to the…

We consider flame front propagation in channel geometries. The steady state solution in this problem is space dependent, and therefore the linear stability analysis is described by a partial integro-differential equation with a space…

For a singularly perturbed system of reaction--diffusion equations, assuming that the 0th order solutions in regular and singular regions are all stable, we construct matched asymptotic expansions for formal solutions to any desired order…

The position of an invasion front, propagating into an unstable state, fluctuates because of the shot noise coming from the discreteness of reacting particles and stochastic character of the reactions and diffusion. A recent macroscopic…

We consider a system of reaction-diffusion equations in a bounded interval of the real line, with emphasis on the metastable dynamics, whereby the time-dependent solution approaches the steady state in an asymptotically exponentially long…

Invasion phenomena for heterogeneous reaction-diffusion equations are contemporary and challenging questions in applied mathematics. In this paper we are interested in the question of spreading for a reaction-diffusion equation when the…

We consider slow, steady transport for the normal state of the superconductor La$_2$CuO$_{4+\delta}$ in a one-dimensional geometry, with surface fluxes sufficiently general to permit oxygen to be driven into the sample (``loaded'') either…

We study a fractional reaction-diffusion system with two types of variables: activator and inhibitor. The interactions between components are modeled by cubical nonlinearity. Linearization of the system around the homogeneous state provides…

We address the question: Why may reaction-diffusion equations with hysteretic nonlinearities become ill-posed and how to amend this? To do so, we discretize the spatial variable and obtain a lattice dynamical system with a hysteretic…
