This paper deals with a nonhomogeneous scalar parabolic equation with possibly degenerate diffusion term; the process has only one stationary state. The equation can be interpreted as modeling collective movements (crowd dynamics, for…
We examine travelling wave solutions of the reaction-diffusion equation, $\partial_t u= R(u) + \partial_x \left[D(u) \partial_x u\right]$, with a Stefan-like condition at the edge of the moving front. With only a few assumptions on $R(u)$…
Analysis of the speed of propagation in parabolic operators is frequently carried out considering the minimal speed at which its traveling waves move. This value depends on the solution concept being considered. We analyze an extensive…
