We give an integral variational characterization for the speed of fronts of the nonlinear diffusion equation $u_t = u_{xx} + f(u)$ with $f(0)=f(1)=0$, and $f>0$ in $(0,1)$, which permits, in principle, the calculation of the exact speed for…
We show that the minimal speed for the existence of monotonic fronts of the equation $u_t = (u^m)_{xx} + f(u)$ with $f(0) = f(1) = 0$, $m >1$ and $f>0$ in $(0,1)$ derives from a variational principle. The variational principle allows to…
We study travelling fronts of equations of the form $u_{tt} + \phi(u) u_x = u_{xx} + f(u)$. A criterion for the transition from linear to nonlinear marginal stability is established for positive functions $\phi(u)$ and for any reaction term…
We study the minimal speed of propagating fronts of convection reaction diffusion equations of the form $u_t + \mu \phi(u) u_x = u_{xx} +f(u)$ for positive reaction terms with $f'(0 >0$. The function $\phi(u)$ is continuous and vanishes at…
We study the asymptotic stability of traveling fronts and front's velocity selection problem for the time-delayed monostable equation $(*)$ $u_{t}(t,x) = u_{xx}(t,x) - u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)),\ x \in \mathbb{R},\ t >0$, considered with…
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…
We introduce a speed selection mechanism for front propagation in reaction-diffusion systems with multiple fields. This mechanism applies to pulled and pushed fronts alike, and operates by restricting the fields to large "finite" intervals…
The extended Fisher Kolmogorov equation $u_t = u_{xx} - \gamma u_{xxxx} + f(u)$ with arbitrary positive $f(u)$, satisfying $f(0) = f(1) =0$, has monotonic traveling fronts for $\gamma < 1/12$. We find a simple lower bound on the speed of…
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…
In this paper, we mainly consider the speed selection problem for the classical Lotka-Volterra competition system. For the first time, we propose a sufficient and necessary condition for this long-standing problem from a new point of view.…
We consider equation $u_t(t,x) = \Delta u(t,x)- u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)) (*) $, when $g:\R_+\to \R_+$ has exactly two fixed points: $x_1= 0$ and $x_2=\kappa>0$. Assuming that $g$ is unimodal and has negative Schwarzian, we indicate explicitly a…
We are concerned with the Cauchy problem $u_{t}=(u^{m})_{xx}+f(u)$, where the nonliearity $f(u)$ is of combustion type and the initial data is compactly supported. In \cite{lou2024convergence}, among other things, the authors prove that by…
This paper continues the investigation of Du and Lou (J. European Math Soc, to appear), where the long-time behavior of positive solutions to a nonlinear diffusion equation of the form $u_t=u_{xx}+f(u)$ for $x$ over a varying interval…
We are concerned with the nonlinear problem $u_t=u_{xx}+f(u)$, where $f$ is of combustion type, coupled with the Stefan-type free boundary $h(t)$. According to [4,5], for some critical initial data, the transition solution $u$ locally…
We study the speed of propagation of fronts for the scalar reaction-diffusion equation $u_t = u_{xx} + f(u)$\, with $f(0) = f(1) = 0$. We give a new integral variational principle for the speed of the fronts joining the state $u=1$ to…
Reaction-advection-diffusion equations, in periodic settings and with general type nonlinearities, admit a threshold known as the minimal speed of propagation. The minimal speed does not have an accessible formula when the nonlinearity is…
The fractional reaction diffusion equation u_t + Au = g(u) is discussed, where A is a fractional differential operator on the real line with order \alpha between 0 and 2, the C^1 function g vanishes at 0 and 1, and either g is non-negative…
In this paper we study the following one-dimensional reaction-diffusion problem $$ u_t+(-\Delta)^s u=f(x-c t, u) \;\:\textrm{ in } \mathbb{R}\times (0,+\infty), $$ where $s>\frac{1}{2}$, $c \in \mathbb{R}$ is a prescribed velocity, and $f$…
We study the asymptotic speed of traveling fronts of the scalar reaction diffusion for positive reaction terms and with a diffusion coefficient depending nonlinearly on the concentration and on its gradient. We restrict our study to…
We investigate quantitative properties of nonnegative solutions $u(t,x)\ge 0$ to the nonlinear fractional diffusion equation, $\partial_t u + \mathcal{L}F(u)=0$ posed in a bounded domain, $x\in\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, with appropriate…
