Uniqueness and stability properties of monostable pulsating fronts
We prove the uniqueness, up to shifts, of pulsating traveling fronts for reaction-diffusion equations in periodic media with Kolmogorov–Petrovskiĭ–Piskunov type nonlinearities. These results provide in particular a complete classification of all KPP pulsating fronts. Furthermore, in the more general case of monostable nonlinearities, we also derive several global stability properties and convergence to pulsating fronts for solutions of the Cauchy problem with front-like initial data. In particular,...
Symmetrization of functions and principal eigenvalues of elliptic operators
In this paper, we consider shape optimization problems for the principal eigenvalues of second order uniformly elliptic operators in bounded domains of . We first recall the classical Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn problem, that is the minimization of the principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a domain with fixed Lebesgue measure. We then consider the case of the Laplacian with a bounded drift, that is the operator , for which the minimization problem is still well posed. Next, we deal with...
The speed of propagation for KPP type problems. I: Periodic framework
This paper is devoted to some nonlinear propagation phenomena in periodic and more general domains, for reaction-diffusion equations with Kolmogorov–Petrovsky–Piskunov (KPP) type nonlinearities. The case of periodic domains with periodic underlying excitable media is a follow-up of the article [7]. It is proved that the minimal speed of pulsating fronts is given by a variational formula involving linear eigenvalue problems. Some consequences concerning the influence of the geometry of the domain,...

The logarithmic delay of KPP fronts in a periodic medium
We extend, to parabolic equations of the KPP type in periodic media, a result of Bramson which asserts that, in the case of a spatially homogeneous reaction rate, the time lag between the position of an initially compactly supported solution and that of a traveling wave grows logarithmically in time.
