The complete set of hydrodynamic equations for a corrugated flame front is reduced to a system of coordinate-free equations at the front using the fact that vorticity effects remain relatively weak even for corrugated flames. It is…

We consider a reaction-diffusion system for two densities lying in adjacent domains of $\mathbb{R}^N$. We treat two configurations: either a cylinder and its complement, or two half-spaces. Diffusion and reaction heterogeneities for the two…

In this paper, a phase-field model is introduced to describe the evolution of a deformable, self-propelled object driven by surface-tension effects. The model couples an Allen-Cahn-type equation, which distinguishes the body from the…

We consider the wave propagation for a reaction-diffusion equation on the real line, with a random drift and Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piscounov (FKPP) type nonlinear reaction. We show that when the average drift is positive, the…

Diffusion within porous media, such as biological tissues, exhibits departures from conventional Fick's laws, which could result in space-fractional diffusion. The paper considers a reaction-diffusion system with two spatial compartments --…

Non-equilibrium dissipative systems usually exhibit multistability, leading to the presence of propagative domain between steady states. We investigate the front propagation into an unstable state in discrete media. Based on a paradigmatic…

We have studied front dynamics for the discrete $A+A \leftrightarrow A$ reaction-diffusion system, which in the continuum is described by the (stochastic) Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscunov equation. We have revisited this discrete model…
