In this paper we study the invasion fronts of spatially periodic monotone reaction-diffusion systems in a multi-dimensional setting. We study the pulsating traveling waves that connect the trivial equilibrium, for which all components of…

A new category of front propagation problems is proposed in which a spreading instability evolves through a singular configuration before saturating. We examine the nature of this front for the viscous Rayleigh instability of a column of…

Recently it has been shown that when an equation that allows so-called pulled fronts in the mean-field limit is modelled with a stochastic model with a finite number $N$ of particles per correlation volume, the convergence to the speed…

The problem of flame propagation is studied as an example of unstable fronts that wrinkle on many scales is studied. The analytic tool of pole expansion in the complex plane is emloyed to address the interaction of the unstable growth…

We analyze the structure and stability of the transition layer (or front) that connects the cold neutral medium and warm neutral medium in the plane-parallel geometry. Such fronts appear in recent numerical simulations of a thermally…

Spreading processes on top of active dynamics provide a novel theoretical framework for capturing emerging collective behavior in living systems. I consider run-and-tumble dynamics coupled with coagulation/decoagulation reactions that lead…

We study the invasion of an unstable state by a propagating front in a peculiar but generic situation where the invasion process exhibits a remnant instability. Here, remnant instability refers to the fact that the spatially constant…

Propagating fronts arising from bistable reaction-diffusion equations are a purely deterministic effect. Stochastic reaction-diffusion processes also show front propagation which coincides with the deterministic effect in the limit of small…

We analyze ``pulled'' or ``linearly marginally stable'' fronts propagating into unstable states. While ``pushed'' fronts into meta- and unstable states relax exponentially, pulled fronts relax algebraically, and simultaneously the standard…

Front propagation into unstable states is often determined by the linearization, that is, propagation speeds agree with predictions from the linearized equation at the unstable state. The leading edge behavior is then a Gaussian tail…

Fronts that start from a local perturbation and propagate into a linearly unstable state come in two classes: pulled and pushed. ``Pulled'' fronts are ``pulled along'' by the spreading of linear perturbations about the unstable state, so…

A study of a stable front propagating in a turbulent medium is presented. The front is generated through a reaction-diffusion equation, and the turbulent medium is statistically modeled using a Langevin equation. Numerical simulations…

The position of propagating population fronts fluctuates because of the discreteness of the individuals and stochastic character of processes of birth, death and migration. Here we consider a Markov model of a population front propagating…

We establish nonlinear stability of fronts that describe the creation of a periodic pattern through the invasion of an unstable state. Our results concern pushed fronts, that is, fronts whose propagation is driven by a localized mode at the…

Periodic forcing of an oscillatory system produces frequency locking bands within which the system frequency is rationally related to the forcing frequency. We study extended oscillatory systems that respond to uniform periodic forcing at…

We consider a propagation of exotermic transition front in a discrete conservative oscillatory chain. Adequate description of such fronts is a key point in prediction of important transient phenomena, including phase transitions and…

We establish sharp nonlinear stability results for fronts that describe the creation of a periodic pattern through the invasion of an unstable state. The fronts we consider are critical, in the sense that they are expected to mediate…
