We investigate minimal bounded speedups of Toeplitz flows. We demonstrate that the minimal bounded speedup of a Toeplitz flow need not be another Toeplitz flow and describe techniques for determining whether the resulting speedup is…
We establish a new property of Fisher-KPP type propagation in a plane, in the presence of a line with fast diffusion. We prove that the line enhances the asymptotic speed of propagation in a cone of directions. Past the critical angle given…

Spontaneous pattern formation in living systems is driven by reaction-diffusion chemistry and active mechanics. The feedback between chemical and mechanical forces is often essential to robust pattern formation, yet it remains poorly…
