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…

We study KPP pulsating front speed-up and effective diffusivity enhancement by general periodic incompressible flows. We prove the existence of and determine the limits $c^*(A)/A$ and $D(A)/A^2$ as $A\to\infty$, where $c^*(A)$ is the…
