We consider a multidimensional monostable reaction-diffusion equation whose nonlinearity involves periodic heterogeneity. This serves as a model of invasion for a population facing spatial heterogeneities. As a rescaling parameter tends to…

We study the nonlinear fractional reaction diffusion equation $\partial_{t}u + (-\Delta)^{s} u= f(t,x,u)$, $s\in(0,1)$ in a bounded domain $\Omega$ together with Dirichlet boundary conditions on $\R^N \setminus \Omega$. We prove asymptotic…

We study the "stiff pressure limit" of a nonlinear drift-diffusion equation, where the density is constrained to stay below the maximal value one. The challenge lies in the presence of a drift and the consequent lack of monotonicity in…

We investigate the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the Fast Diffusion Equation $u_t=\Delta u^m$, posed in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, in the exponent range $m_s=(N-2)_+/(N+2)<m<1$. It is known that bounded…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic stability of viscous shock profile for the Burgers equation $u_t +f(u)_x = (\frac{u_{x}}{u^{1-m}})_x$ on the half-space $(0,+\infty)$, subject to the boundary conditions $u|_{x=0}=u_->0$ and…

We discuss a numerical method for convection-diffusion-reaction problems with a free boundary in 1D. The method is based on the numerical modelling of the interface evolution, the transformation to a fixed domain problem and the…

We show that propagation speeds in invasion processes modeled by reaction-diffusion systems are determined by marginal spectral stability conditions, as predicted by the marginal stability conjecture. This conjecture was recently settled in…

In this paper, we study a class of nonlocal dispersion equation with monostable nonlinearity in $n$-dimensional space u_t - J\ast u +u+d(u(t,x))= \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} f_\beta (y) b(u(t-\tau,x-y)) dy, u(s,x)=u_0(s,x), s\in[-\tau,0], \ x\in…

We classify traveling waves and stationary solutions of a reaction-diffusion equation arising in population dynamics with Allee-type effects. The reaction term is given by a quadratic polynomial with a discontinuity at zero, which captures…

Predicting evolution of expanding populations is critical to control biological threats such as invasive species and cancer metastasis. Expansion is primarily driven by reproduction and dispersal, but nature abounds with examples of…

We study the one-dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process on the lattice $\{1, \dots,N\}$ with creation/annihilation at the boundaries. The boundary rates are time dependent and change on a slow time scale $N^{-a}$ with $a>0$. We…
