Fronts, propagating into an unstable state $\phi=0$, whose asymptotic speed $v_{\text{as}}$ is equal to the linear spreading speed $v^*$ of infinitesimal perturbations about that state (so-called pulled fronts) are very sensitive to changes…
We investigate the inside structure of one-dimensional reaction-diffusion traveling fronts. The reaction terms are of the monostable, bistable or ignition types. Assuming that the fronts are made of several components with identical…

We rigorously prove the bifurcation of slow-moving pattern interfaces with general direction in a two-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg-type model close to a Turing instability for a large class of nonlinearities. These interfaces describe the…
Recent theoretical work has shown that so-called pulled fronts propagating into an unstable state always converge very slowly to their asymptotic speed and shape. In the the light of these predictions, we reanalyze earlier experiments by…
It is shown numerically and analytically that the front propagation process in the framework of the Swift-Hohenberg model is determined by periodic nucleation events triggered by the explosive growth of the localized zero-eigenvalue mode of…
We consider front solutions of the Swift-Hohenberg equation $\partial_t u= -(1+\partial_x^2)^2 u +\epsilon ^2 u -u^3$. These are traveling waves which leave in their wake a periodic pattern in the laboratory frame. Using renormalization…
We analyze the transition between pulled and pushed fronts both analytically and numerically from a model-independent perspective. Based on minimal conceptual assumptions, we show that pushed fronts bifurcate from a branch of pulled fronts…
Using the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations we study the propagation of planar fronts in superconductors, which would appear after a quench to zero applied magnetic field. Our numerical solutions show that the fronts propagate at a…
We consider pattern-forming fronts in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with a traveling spatial heterogeneity which destabilizes, or quenches, the trivial ground state while progressing through the domain. We consider the regime where…
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…
We study front propagation problems for forced mean curvature flows and their phase field variants that take place in stratified media, i.e., heterogeneous media whose characteristics do not vary in one direction. We consider phase change…
We establish the convergence of threshold dynamics-type approximation schemes to propagating fronts evolving according to an anisotropic mean curvature motion in the presence of a forcing term depending on both time and position, thus…
Pattern formation often occurs in spatially extended physical, biological and chemical systems due to an instability of the homogeneous steady state. The type of the instability usually prescribes the resulting spatio-temporal patterns and…
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…
We consider here a model of accelerating fronts, introduced in [2], consisting of one equation with nonlocal diffusion on a line, coupled via the boundary condition with a reaction-diffusion equation of the Fisher-KPP type in the upper…
This paper deals with the large time dynamics of bounded solutions of reaction-diffusion equations with unbounded initial support in $\mathbb{R}^N$. We prove a variational formula for the spreading speeds in any direction, and we also…
