We study the front propagation in Reaction-Diffusion systems whose reaction dynamics exhibits an unstable fixed point and chaotic or noisy behaviour. We have examined the influence of chaos and noise on the front propagation speed and on…
In some pattern-forming systems, for some parameter values, patterns form with two wavelengths, while for other parameter values, there is only one wavelength. The transition between these can be organised by a codimension-three point at…
In the present paper we study stochastic homogenization for reaction-diffusion equations with stationary ergodic reactions. We first show that under suitable hypotheses, initially localized solutions to the PDE asymptotically become…
The problem of spin diffusion is studied numerically in one-dimensional classical Heisenberg model using a deterministic odd even spin precession dynamics. We demonstrate that spin diffusion in this model, like energy diffusion, is normal…

We determine the speed of a crystallisation (or more generally, a solidification) front as it advances into the uniform liquid phase after the system has been quenched into the crystalline region of the phase diagram. We calculate the front…
We develop non-linear integro-differential kinetic equations for proliferating L\'{e}vy walkers with birth and death processes. A hyperbolic scaling is applied directly to the general equations to get the Hamilton-Jacobi equations that will…
We study nonlinear diffusion problems of the form $u_t=u_{xx}+f(u)$ with free boundaries. Such problems may be used to describe the spreading of a biological or chemical species, with the free boundary representing the expanding front. For…
We discuss the front propagation in ferroelectric chiral smectics (SmC*) subjected to electric and magnetic fields applied parallel to smectic layers. The reversal of the electric field induces the motion of domain walls or fronts that…
We consider a class of cooperative reaction-diffusion systems with free boundaries in one space dimension, where the diffusion terms are nonlocal, given by integral operators involving suitable kernel functions, and they are allowed not to…
The empirical velocity of a reaction-diffusion front, propagating into an unstable state, fluctuates because of the shot noises of the reactions and diffusion. Under certain conditions these fluctuations can be described as a diffusion…
For the classical reaction diffusion equation, the priori speed of fronts is determined exactly in the pioneering paper (R.D. Benguria and M.C. Depassier, {\em Commun. Math. Phys.} 175:221--227, 1996) by variational characterization method.…
The existence of a finite threshold, the yield stress, for the onset of plastic yielding is a universal feature of plasticity. This jamming-unjamming transition is naturally accounted for by the dynamics of a bistable internal state field.…
We study analytically and numerically a model describing front propagation of a KPP reaction in a fluid flow. The model consists of coupled one-dimensional reaction-diffusion equations with different drift coefficients. The main rigorous…
The nonlocal Fisher equation is a diffusion-reaction equation with a nonlocal quadratic competition, which describes the reaction between distant individuals. This equation arises in evolutionary biological systems, where the arena for the…
In this paper, we study some parameter-dependent reaction-diffusion models governed by the Born-Infeld (or Minkowski) operator. In dependence on two parameters $a, b > 0$, related to the field strength and to the diffusivity, we investigate…
In this work a phenomenological stochastic differential equation is proposed to model the time evolution of the radius of a pre-critical molecular cluster during nucleation (the classical order parameter). Such a stochastic differential…

We investigate a specific reaction-diffusion system that admits a monostable pulled front propagating at constant critical speed. When a small parameter changes sign, the stable equilibrium behind the front destabilizes, due to essential…
We study the asymptotics of Allen-Cahn-type bistable reaction-diffusion equations which are additively perturbed by a stochastic forcing (time white noise). The conclusion is that the long time, large space behavior of the solutions is…
