The logarithmic delay of KPP fronts in a periodic medium

François Hamel, James Nolen, Jean-Michel Roquejoffre, Lenya Ryzhik (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

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.

Periodic solutions of a three-species periodic reaction-diffusion system

Tiantian Qiao, Jiebao Sun, Boying Wu (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study a periodic reaction-diffusion system of a competitive model with Dirichlet boundary conditions. By the method of upper and lower solutions and an argument similar to that of Ahmad and Lazer, we establish the existence of periodic solutions and also investigate the stability and global attractivity of positive periodic solutions under certain conditions.

Pattern Formation Induced by Time-Dependent Advection

A. V. Straube, A. Pikovsky (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

We study pattern-forming instabilities in reaction-advection-diffusion systems. We develop an approach based on Lyapunov-Bloch exponents to figure out the impact of a spatially periodic mixing flow on the stability of a spatially homogeneous state. We deal with the flows periodic in space that may have arbitrary time dependence. We propose a discrete in time model, where reaction, advection, and diffusion act as successive operators,...

Uniqueness and stability properties of monostable pulsating fronts

François Hamel, Lionel Roques (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

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....

Stippling the Skin: Generation of Anatomical Periodicity by Reaction-Diffusion Mechanisms

D. J. Headon, K. J. Painter (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

During vertebrate development cells acquire different fates depending largely on their location in the embryo. The definition of a cell's developmental fate relies on extensive intercellular communication that produces positional information and ultimately generates an appropriately proportioned anatomy. Here we place reaction-diffusion mechanisms in the context of general concepts regarding the generation of positional information during development and then focus on these mechanisms...
