چکیده
with a smooth function μ(x) that is 1-periodic in all variables xj, j = 1, . . . , n. This equation is known as the Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov, or Fisher-KPP equation, and was introduced in 1937 by Fisher, and KPP, in their two respective papers, Fisher’s paper focusing on numerical and “applied tools” analysis, and KPP giving a rigorous mathematical treatment. Both papers were pioneering in many respects, and are true classics of applied mathematics and applied analysis. The Fisher-KPP equation is at the first sight a simple combination of the diffusion equation

The function f(T ), called the reaction rate, will always be Lipschitz, and satisfy f(T ) ≥ 0 for 0 ≤ T ≤ 1, f(T ) = 0 for T / ∈ (0, 1). (1.1) We will distinguish two types of the reaction rate: we say that f is of the KPP-type if f(T ) > 0 for 0 < T < 1 (1.2) f(T ) ≤ f ′(0)T (1.3) while f is of the ignition type if ∃θ0 ∈ (0, 1) so that f(T ) = 0 for 0 ≤ T ≤ θ0 and f(T ) > 0 for T ∈ (θ0, 1).

متن کاملWave Propagation in a Lattice Kpp Equation in Random Media
We extend a result of Freidlin and Gartner (1979) for KPP (Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov) wave fronts to the case d ≥ 2 for i.i.d. (independent and identically distributed) random media. We show a wave front propagation speed is attained for the discrete-space (lattice) KPP using a large deviation approach.
متن کاملExistence of Kpp Type Fronts in Space-time Periodic Shear Flows and a Study of Minimal Speeds Based on Variational Principle
We prove the existence of reaction-diffusion traveling fronts in mean zero space-time periodic shear flows for nonnegative reactions including the classical KPP (Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov) nonlinearity. For the KPP nonlinearity, the minimal front speed is characterized by a variational principle involving the principal eigenvalue of a space-time periodic parabolic operator. Analysis of the ...
متن کاملUniqueness and stability properties of monostable pulsating fronts
In this paper, we prove the uniqueness, up to shifts, of pulsating traveling fronts for reaction-diffusion equations in periodic media with Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-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 propert...
