We show that propagation speeds in invasion processes modeled by reaction-diffusion systems are determined by marginal spectral stability conditions, as predicted by the marginal stability conjecture. This conjecture was recently settled in…
The problem of front propagation in flowing media is addressed for laminar velocity fields in two dimensions. Three representative cases are discussed: stationary cellular flow, stationary shear flow, and percolating flow. Production terms…
In this paper, we treat the Fisher-KPP equation with a Caputo-type time fractional derivative and discuss the propagation speed of the solution. The equation is a mathematical model that describes the processes of sub-diffusion,…
Pulse-like ruptures arise spontaneously in many elastodynamic rupture simulations and seem to be the dominant rupture mode along crustal faults. Pulse-like ruptures propagating under steady-state conditions can be efficiently analysed…
The propagation of pressure fronts (impact solutions) in 1D chains of atoms coupled by anharmonic potentials between nearest neighbor and submitted to damping forces preserving uniform motion, is investigated. Travelling fronts between two…
The "nonlinear complex heat equation" $A_t=i|A|^2A+A_{xx}$ was introduced by P. Coullet and L. Kramer as a model equation exhibiting travelling fronts induced by non-variational effects, called "retracting fronts". In this paper we study…
Recently, it was demonstrated that electrochemical doping fronts in organic semiconductors ex- hibit a new fundamental instability growing from multidimensional perturbations [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 016103 (2011)]. In the instability…
We study the asymptotic spreading of Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov (KPP) fronts in heterogeneous shifting habitats, with any number of shifting speeds, by further developing the method based on the theory of viscosity solutions of…
Nonlinear non-stationary equation describing evolution of weakly curved premixed flames with arbitrary gas expansion, subject to the Landau-Darrieus instability, is derived. The new equation respects all the conservation laws to be…
The asymptotics of a singularly perturbed problem is constructed. describing the transport of a polydisperse impurity in the atmosphere, taking into account the processes of precipitation and wind pick-up, as well as the processes of…
We study motion of a phase transition front at a constant temperature between stable and metastable states in fluids with the universal Van der Waals equation of state (which is valid sufficiently close to the fluid's critical point). We…
In a previous paper (Leblond et al., 2011), we proposed a theoretical interpretation of the experimentally well known instability of coplanar crack propagation in mode I+III. The interpretation relied on a stability analysis based on…
A newly developed sharp interface model describes crack propagation by a phase transition process. We solve this free boundary problem numerically and obtain steady state solutions with a self-consistently selected propagation velocity and…
We investigate a general, local version of the cane toads equation, which models the spread of a population structured by unbounded motility. We use the thin-front limit approach of Evans and Souganidis in [Indiana Univ. Math. J., 1989] to…
This paper is devoted to the well-posedness analysis of a nonstationary Stokes hemivariational inequality for an incompressible fluid flow described by the Stokes equations subject to a nonsmooth boundary condition of friction type…
An effect generated by the nonexponential behavior of the survival amplitude of an unstable state at the long time region is considered. It is known that this amplitude tends to zero as $t$ goes to the infinity more slowly than any…
We consider the damped wave equation \alpha u_tt + u_t = u_xx - V'(u) on the whole real line, where V is a bistable potential. This equation has travelling front solutions of the form u(x,t) = h(x-st) which describe a moving interface…
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…
In this paper,under an abstract setting we establish the existence of spatially inhomogeneous steady states and the asymptotic propagation properties for a large class of monotone evolution systems without spatial translation invariance.…
We study the asymptotic speed of a random front for solutions $u_t(x)$ to stochastic reaction-diffusion equations of the form \[ \partial_tu=\farc{1}{2}\partial_x^2u+f(u)+\sigma\sqrt{u(1-u)}\dot{W}(t,x),~t\ge 0,~x\in\Rm, \] arising in…
