We consider a bistable ($0\textless{}\theta\textless{}1$ being the three constant steady states) delayed reaction diffusion equation, which serves as a model in population dynamics. The problem does not admit any comparison principle. This…

We consider the damped hyperbolic equation (1) \epsilon u_{tt} + u_t = u_{xx} + F(u), x \in R, t \ge 0, where \epsilon is a positive, not necessarily small parameter. We assume that F(0) = F(1) = 0 and that F is concave on the interval…

This paper is devoted to reaction-diffusion equations with bistable nonlinearities depending periodically on time. These equations admit two linearly stable states. However, the reaction terms may not be bistable at every time. These may…
